Abstract
⺠Experimental study of role of projectile density on impact coupling depth/location. ⺠Under-dense projectiles couple closer to the surface and quicker than denser impactors. ⺠Effects of early-stage coupling (evolving ejection angles) extend to main-stage growth. ⺠Metrics for the transient depth to diameter ratio demonstrate non-proportional growth. ⺠Results have implications for ballistic emplacement of ejecta on planetary surfaces.
