Abstract
⺠We model impact crater formation in ice using a new equation of state and rheology. ⺠Dynamic phase changes lead to a new phenomenon called discontinuous excavation. ⺠Partial melts are concentrated in a central plug, a possible precursor to pits. ⺠Diverse crater morphologies reflect subsurface temperature profiles.
