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.

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 ...

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.

Small Solar System Bodies as granular media [PDF]
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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Captured Small Solar System Bodies in the Ice Giant Region [PDF]
, 2021 This white paper advocates for the inclusion of small, captured Outer Solar system objects, found in the Ice Giant region in the next Decadal Survey. These objects include the Trojans and Irregular satellite populations of Uranus and Neptune.
