These were many of the papers that existed before the mission and a few published during the mission but pre-encounter. A more complete list of papers about the mission results would be too long to post here. Instead we recommend you visit the NASA Astrophysics Data System and search on 'Deep Impact,' Tempel 1,' 'A'Hearn' and other likely keywords.
