Scientific paper

In this work we attempt to obtain direct images of the crater associated with the impact of the Deep Impact impactor spacecraft on the nucleus of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. The impact generated a large and bright ejecta cloud that hampers the clear view of the post-impact nucleus surface. We used image restoration techniques to enhance spatial resolution and contrast on a subset of selected post-impact high resolution images. No unambiguous evidence for the crater can be found; however, indirect evidence is consistent with a crater size in the 150 200 m range.
