- The primordial nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (2015, methodology): “For 9P/Tempel 1 Richardson et al. (2007) obtain ρbulk = 400+600−200 kg m −3 by modeling the dynamics of the ejecta plume created during the Deep Impact collision experiment.”
- VELOCITY-DEPENDENT CATASTROPHIC DISRUPTION CRITERIA FOR PLANETESIMALS (2009, background): “Although the mechanical properties of planetesimals are not well understood, theory and observations of comets suggest that their strength is extremely low (Sirono & Greenberg 2000; Richardson et al. 2007; Asphaug & Benz 1996) and lower than the strength of samples in the porous glass experiments.”
- Density of asteroids (2012, background): “Richardson et al. (2007) have also studied the expansion of ejecta created by the Deep Impact experiment on the comet 9P/Tempel1.”
- Full numerical simulations of catastrophic small body collisions (2008, background): “tem possess a wide range of shear strengths, from monolithic bodies inferred from fast spin rates, (e.g., Pravec and Harris 2000) to nearly strengthless bodies (e.g., ˘1 10 kPa for comet 9P/Tempel 1, Richardson et al. 2007). Previous simulations have shown that the catastrophic shattering criteria (”
- The Deep Impact oblique impact cratering experiment (2007, methodology): “Even without being able to see the crater, the outward-advancing ejecta curtain could be used to establish the crater formation time or limits on size as described by A'Hearn et al. (2005), Richardson and Melosh (2006), and Richardson et al. (2007) .”
