Exploration of Small Solar System Bodies
2016So far we have learnt a lot about the different types of Small Solar System Bodies and dwarf planets. Yet, the question remains. How do we get all the information from these small, distant bodies? These small objects are very difficult to observe. Using optical telescopes, even the largest ones we currently have on Earth, it is hardly possible to see ...

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.

Populations of Small Solar System Bodies
2019Asteroids are objects that are mainly composed of rocky and metallic material, are generally accepted to be debris left over from the formation of the solar system. The exact composition varies with the asteroid, but in addition to rocky material, asteroids may contain metals and volatiles including organic material.

Water on Small Solar System Bodies
2011When examining the outer parts of the solar system water becomes more and more abundant. The water reservoir on the Erath and other terrestrial planets might have been supplied by the impact of these objects in the heavy bombardment phase of the early solar system evolution.

Small (and Not So Small) Solar System Bodies
2010This chapter will cover the somewhat confusing terminology surrounding: How planets, dwarf planets, and asteroids are so defined. The meaning of the myriad of numbers and names used to designate asteroids. The quantities used to describe the orbit of an asteroid around the Sun – its orbital elements.

The Science of Small Solar System Bodies
2019On February 15, 2013, the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia was struck by a small rocky body about 20 m in diameter. The body exploded at a height of about 30 km above the ground. The resulting shockwave broke windows in over 7000 buildings and injured more than 1500 people.

Dynamics of small bodies in the solar system
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2010In 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 ...

General Relativistic Precession in Small Solar System Bodies
2016Introduction: One of the greatest successes of the Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (GR) was the correct prediction of the precession of perihelion of Mercury. The closed form expression to compute this precession tells us that substantial GR precession would occur only if the bodies have a combination of both moderately small perihelion ...
