Dynamics of small bodies in the solar system
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2010 In this chapter we review key results on the dynamics of small solar-system bodies, such as asteroids and comets. We begin by presenting the main populations of small bodies in the solar system, in terms of their orbital characteristics. We define the different types of resonant interactions for small bodies, relating them to the orbital structure of ...

Migration of Small Bodies in the Solar System
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1996We 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.

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 =

Small bodies of the Solar System
Nature, 2000Discoveries of comets that behave like asteroids and asteroids that behave like comets are making us reassess our view of Earth's smallest neighbours.

Regoliths on Small Bodies in the Solar System
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1982A 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.

Small Bodies of the Solar System
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984Schmidt 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.

Small Bodies of the Solar System
Reviews of Geophysics, 1991This report summarizes some of the significant results achieved in the last four years on asteroids, comets, and small satellites. These objects are interrelated in several ways - some objects may be considered either asteroids or comets; some small satellites may have been comets or asteroids captured into planetary orbits; and these small, low ...

The Small Bodies of the Solar System
2001Comets have been seen since time immemorialbut asteroids were only discovered at the begining of the nineteenth century while the first members of the family of bodies that orbit in the region beyond Neptune were only discovered within the last ten years.
