Density of particles colliding against Didymos produced by the sesquinary impacts described in Table 2. The single green dot represents the location of the boulder impact. In each case, the dust is scattered over large areas on the surface. The shape of this area can vary between each event. In the bottom right panel, we combine all five previous distributions of the dust particles for the boulder impacts into a single 2D histogram. To define the longitude and latitude angles for this plot, we assumed the triaxial ellipsoid shape of Didymos, as obtained by the SPICE kernels.
