Why is a minor planet minor?

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,

There are now 23 candidate satellites for eight minor planets, and no one of these minor planets occulting a star has failed to ...

BINARY MINOR PLANETS

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.

The Resonant Remains of Broken Chains from Major and Minor Mergers

Astronomical Journal
TESS and Kepler have revealed that practically all close-in sub-Neptunes form in mean-motion resonant chains, most of which unravel on timescales of 100 Myr.
