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 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 ...

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 ...

Testing MOND on Small Bodies in the Remote Solar System
The Astrophysical JournalModified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), which postulates a breakdown of Newton's laws of gravity/dynamics below some critical acceleration threshold, can explain many otherwise puzzling observational phenomena on galactic scales.

The compositional variation of small bodies across the Solar System
, 2010 Small bodies hold keys to our understanding of the Solar System. By studying these populations we seek the information on the conditions and structure of the primordial and current Solar System, its evolution, and the formation process of the planets. Constraining the surface composition of small bodies provides us with the ingredients and proportions ...

New periodic orbits in the solar sail three-body problem [PDF]
, 2011 We identify displaced periodic orbits in the circular restricted three-body problem, wher the third (small) body is a solar sail. In particular, we consider solar sail orbits in the earth-sun system which are high above the exliptic plane.

Taxonomy and dynamics of small solar system body populations [PDF]
, 2021 In the story of our Solar system, the captured, irregular satellites of the gas giants and the Jovian Trojan swarms provide key records of the dynamical history. When investigating small Solar system body populations such as these, we need to accommodate

Applications of solar radiation pressure dominated highly non-Keplerian trajectories around minor bodies [PDF]
, 2013 With the growing interest in the exploration and possible exploitation of small minor bodies, demonstrator missions to asteroids and comets are a trending topic in the research community.

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 ...

Small-body encounters using solar sail propulsion [PDF]
, 2004 Cometary Rendezvous and Flybys have large V requirements, which impose almost unattainable, and sometimes prohibitive, demands on the propellant budget of conventional, chemical propulsion.
