MARC recordEstimating crater size for hypervelocity impacts on small icy bodies (e.g. comet nucleus) / Mark Burchell, Ellen Johnson, Ivan Grey.

| Abstract: | Predicts morphology and size of impact craters on small icy bodies, e.g., minor satellites of outer planets or comet nuclei. Compares with impacts on large, well consolidated, semi-infinite ice surfaces. Referring to NASA Deep Impact project to drop large copper mass onto nucleus of comet Tempel 1, extrapolates laboratory results of hypervelocity impact onto ice to appropriate scale. Uses simple variation of crater volume with impact energy, and Pi group scaling in which crater parameters are expressed as dimensionless ratios of relevant impact parameters, to predict crater volumes within factor of two of each other. For hypothetical porous target with some non water-ice content finds crater volume reduced by two thirds, but result poorly constrained. |
