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.

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.

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 ...

Regolith dynamics on small bodies in the Solar System [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesMany small bodies in the Solar System, such as near-Earth asteroids, are believed to be granular aggregates - rubble piles – held together mainly by low self-gravity, typically of the order of mms−2.

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 ...
