A brief overview is presented of the current and historical processing of observations and orbits by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). The MPC is delegated by the International Astronomical Union with organizing the cataloging of minor bodies in the solar system. G.V. Williams (*) • T.B.

Nature, 1977
A hypothesis based on the accretion model of planet formation is proposed which can explain why minor planets could not grow into full-sized planets. Temperature and impact-velocity conditions for bouncing, accumulation, and fragmentation of planetesimals are evaluated for silicate and iron planetesimals at the heliocentric distances of Mercury, Venus,

Minor Planets: The Discovery of Minor Satellites
Science, 1979The recent confirmation of the discovery of a satellite of the minor planet 532 Herculina indicates that other similar anomalous sightings are probably also due to satellites, which must therefore be numerous and commonplace. There are now 23 candidate satellites for eight minor planets, and no one of these minor planets occulting a star has failed to ...

Long-term dynamical evolution of the minor planet (4179) Toutatis
, 1993We have estimated the orbit of the minor planet (4179) Toutatis from 332 optical astrometric observations that span the period from 1934 to 1993. From this starting point, we have numerically integrated the orbit of Toutatis within the context of several

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2006
A review of observations and theories regarding binary asteroids and binary trans-Neptunian objects [collectively, binary minor planets (BMPs)] is presented. To date, these objects have been discovered using a combination of direct imaging, lightcurve analysis, and radar.

I n our chapters on the Sun and Moon, on the Earth and Venus, and on Mercury and Mars, we have been usually discussing the features and the movements of globes of vast dimensions. The least of all these bodies is the moon, but even our moon is a ball 2,000 miles from one side to the other.
