Glycine amino acid transformation under impacts by small solar system bodies, simulated via high-pressure torsion method [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Impacts by small solar system bodies (meteoroids, asteroids, comets and transitional objects) are characterized by a combination of energy dynamics and chemical modification on both terrestrial and small solar system bodies.

Constraints on the Gamma-Ray Emission from Small Solar System Bodies with the Fermi Large Area Telescope Data [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 All known small solar system bodies have diameters between a few meters and a few thousands of kilometers. Based on the collisional evolution of solar system bodies, a larger number of asteroids with diameters down to ∼2 m is thought to exist.

Performing Automated, High-Speed Photometry on Occulting, Small Outer Solar System Bodies
Edinburgh Student Journal of ScienceMonitoring stellar occultations provides a powerful means to measure the shapes and sizes of small Solar System bodies, but produces large quantities of image data which can be laborious to analyse.

A 3‐D Shape Reconstruction Strategy for Small Solar System Bodies With Single Flyby Spaceborne Radar [PDF]
Earth and Space Science, 2023 This article presents a novel 3‐D shape reconstruction strategy for small solar system bodies using spaceborne radar which is applied in flyby trajectories to characterize multiple targets in one mission to save time and cost. In this study, we establish

Physical Properties of the Asteroid Belts from Brightness-limited Surveys
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We introduce a general debiasing Bayesian formalism to brightness-limited surveys of solar system objects that constrains the statistical distribution of a population’s physical characteristics such as size, albedo, heliocentric distance, or others to ...

What If Planet Nine Has Satellites?
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In the past decade, numerical simulations started to reveal the possible existence of Planet Nine in our solar system. The Planet Nine scenario can provide an excellent explanation for the clustering in orbital elements for Kuiper Belt objects.
