Mechanical evolution of small solar system bodies

open access: yes, 2023
This dissertation presents a series of studies that develop and apply numerical modeling techniques to small bodies in the solar system. We are particularly interested in low-energy deformations, collisions, and disruptions, and our subjectsrange from near-Earth asteroids to Kuiper belt contact binaries in the farthest reaches of the solar system.

Small Solar System Bodies as granular media [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy 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 ...

Solar System Small Bodies

2002
Number of minor planets having well-determined orbits, cataloged by permanent designations (numbers) as of 1998, January 1: 8125. Number of known minor planets having less well-determined orbits, cataloged by provisional designations: > 25, 000. Most are located in the Main-belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Semimajor axis, range 2.06 to 3.28 AU, mean a =

Migration of Small Bodies in the Solar System

Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1996
We investigate several parts of the process of migration of small bodies to the Earth from the asteroid and transneptunian belts. The obtained characteristic times up to collisions of near-Earth objects with the Earth are less than those obtained by other scientists.

Small Bodies of the Solar System

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984
Schmidt telescopes are ideal for many types of survey work, and this includes surveying the solar system. Schmidt cameras have the advantages of speed and wide fields for rapid coverage of large areas of the sky, and good image quality over the entire field. The small focal ratios also have the effect of enhancing low surface-brightness features.

Regoliths on Small Bodies in the Solar System

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1982
A regolith is defined as a layer or mantle of loose, incoherent, rocky material of whatever origin, that nearly everywhere forms the surface of the land and rests on coherent bedrock. The regoliths on many planetary bodies are the result of continual impacts, which transform coherent surfaces into fragmental debris.
