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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Methodology for the Observations of Stellar Occultations by Small Bodies of the Solar System
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The observation of stellar occultations constitutes one of the most important techniques for determining the dimensions and establishing the physical parameters of small Solar System bodies.
