Collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter: Impact Study of Two Fragments from Timing of Precursor Events
The impacts of fragments K and R of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 are examined with the aim to interpret the timing of the observed precursors to the main thermal emission event and to correlate the results of ground-based infrared observations with a variety of observations made onboard the Galileo spacecraft. Independent observations of the impact phenomena (of K & R) are combined.
