Scientific paper

Our studies of ejection of material from Comet Tempel 1 were based on analysis of the images made by Deep Impact (DI) cameras during the first 13 minutes after the collision of the DI impactor with the comet [1-2]. The brightness of the cloud of ejected material was mainly due to icy particles with diameter dɛ μm. Most of the ejected mass could be caused by typical cratering, but a considerable fraction of the observed mass of ejected particles could be due to small particles ejected at a triggered outburst. The production of observed ejected material had a peak at ejection time te 0.6 s. At 1
