This comprehensive study delves into the significance of asteroid research and proposes a
systematic classification consisting of seven distinct categories. Initially, a concise definition …

During its approach to asteroid (101955) Bennu, NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation,
Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft surveyed …

Abstract We present the Citizen Science program Active Asteroids and describe discoveries
stemming from our ongoing project. Our NASA Partner program is hosted on the Zooniverse …

Main-belt comets are small Solar System bodies located in the asteroid belt that repeatedly
exhibit comet-like activity (that is, dust comae or tails) during their perihelion passages …

The practical distinctions between asteroids and comets, viewed as products of accretion on
either side of the snow line, are less clear-cut than previously understood. In this chapter, we …

We report that object 282P/(323137) 2003 BM 80 is undergoing a sustained activity outburst,
lasting over 15 months thus far. These findings stem in part from our NASA Partner Citizen …

Context. Planets orbiting low-mass stars such as M dwarfs are now considered a
cornerstone in the search for planets with the potential to harbour life. GJ 273 is a planetary …

We present archival observations of main-belt asteroid (248370) 2005 QN 173 (also
designated 433P) that demonstrate this recently discovered active asteroid (a body with a …

We report statistically significant detections of nonradial, nongravitational accelerations
based on astrometric data in the photometrically inactive objects 1998 KY 26, 2005 VL 1 …

We describe and analyze simultaneous sublimation activity of the main-belt primitive
asteroids during their perihelion passages, which was detected by spectral methods. This …
