Richardson a,∗,H.JayMeloshb, Carey M.

In this work, we develop a first-order, three-dimensional, forward model of the ejecta plume behavior resulting from this cratering event, and then adjust the model parameters to match the flyby-spacecraft observations of the actual ejecta plume, image by image. This modeling exercise indicates Deep Impact to have been a reasonably “well-behaved” oblique impact, in which the impactor–spacecraft apparently struck a small, westward-facing slope of roughly 1/3–1/2 the size of the final crater produced (determined from initial ejecta plume geometry), and possessing an effective strength of not more than Y¯ = 1–10 kPa. The resulting ejecta plume followed well-established scaling relationships for cratering in a medium-to-high porosity target, consistent with a transient crater of not more than 85–140 m diameter, formed in not more than 250–550 s, for the case of Y¯ = 0 Pa (gravity-dominated cratering); and not less than 22–26 m diameter, formed in not less than 1–3 s, for the case of Y¯ = 10 kPa (strength-dominated cratering).

The names will never be published but geographic location will be identified in general terms. There is no doubt in my mind that Khabbar is a part & parcel and was not really sure whether to share the good news or not! of life of Konkanis in North America. In fact, Khabbar has Well, I reminded the family the Khabbar slogan and I believe, developed a special relation with most of the Konkani families that made the family to share that news. In comes the news to and here are some examples of those close encounters of a Khabbar with the following note: different kind….…… --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Dear Khabar magazine, Khabbar always makes extra efforts to cover as much news If Khabbar does not publish news, it has never happened in about Konkanis in North America as possible. In fact, “If it America! Here’s the news I want to share is …..” did not appear in Khabbar, then it did not happen in North America” is the slogan Khabbar uses to get the news. Well, that shows, the Khabbar Slogan has an impact on the community or does it really !?!
