Minor Planets: The Discovery of Minor Satellites

Science, 1979
The 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 ...

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,

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.

Vesta is smaller than Ceres and Pallas, the first- and second-largest asteroids, respectively, but its reflective surface allows it to be seen occasionally, without the aid of a telescope, in the nighttime sky.
