Small solar system bodies as granular systems [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are currently of great scientific and even industrial interest. Asteroids exist as the permanent record of the formation of the Solar System and therefore hold many clues to its understanding as a whole, as well as insights into the formation of planetary bodies.

Composition of Solar System Small Bodies [PDF]
, 2017 The aim of the chapter is to summarize our understanding of the compositional distribution across the different reservoirs of small bodies (main belt asteroids, giant planet trojans, irregular satellites of the giant planets, TNOs, comets). We then use this information to i) discuss current dynamical models (Nice and Grand Tack models), ii) mention ...

Small Solar System Bodies as granular media [PDF]
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2019 Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and other planetary systems) can be better understood by analysing the constitution and physical properties of small bodies in the Solar System.

Small spacecraft in small solar system body applications [PDF]
2017 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2017 In the wake of the successful Philae landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the launch of the first Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout, MASCOT, aboard the Hayabusa2 space probe to asteroid (162173) Ryugu, small spacecraft in applications related to small solar system bodies have become a topic of increasing interest.

Small Bodies in the Outer Solar System [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1999 This report is a continuation of three earlier reviews (Marsden 1996a, 1996b, 1998) that included a summary of our orbital knowledge of the Kuiper Belt. Presented at conferences held in the middle of 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, these reviews showed the steadily developing picture of a system dominated by the platinos, librating in the 2:3 mean ...

Water in small bodies of the Solar System [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 AbstractWater in form of ice or vapour is observed in comets, transneptunian objects and icy satellites formed in the outer regions of the Solar System, as well as in objects orbiting in the inner Solar System, such as dwarf planet Ceres. I will present an overview of the water content and properties in these objects and the implications in terms of ...

The Moon: An Archive of Small Body Migration in the Solar System [PDF]
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2016 The Moon is an archive of impact cratering in the Solar System throughout the past 4.5 billion years. It preserves this record better than larger, more complex planets like the Earth, Mars and Venus, which have largely lost their ancient crusts through geological reprocessing and hydrospheric/atmospheric weathering.

Small Bodies: Near and Far Database for thermal infrared observations of small bodies in the Solar System [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 In this paper, we present the Small Bodies: Near and Far Infrared Database, an easy-to-use tool intended to facilitate the modelling of thermal emission of small bodies of the Solar System. Our database collects measurements of thermal emissions for small Solar System targets that are otherwise available in scattered sources and provides a complete ...

Metal Pollution of the Solar White Dwarf by Solar System Small Bodies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract White dwarfs (WDs) often show metal lines in their spectra, indicating accretion of asteroidal material. Our Sun is to become a WD in several gigayears. Here, we examine how the solar WD accretes from the three major small body populations: the main belt asteroids (MBAs), Jovian Trojan asteroids (JTAs), and trans-Neptunian ...

Observations of Small Solar System Bodies with GAIA [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2005 The ESA space astrometry mission has a great potential of observation and discovery on the solar system objects. GAIA is due for launch in 2010 and the survey mission will last five years. In addition to accurate astrometry of about 1 billion stars, the mission will survey all solar system objects brighter than 20th magnitude, in astrometry and with ...
