Here are the facets I've proposed for the "small bodies" discipline list, with definitions:
Facet1 Value | Meaning |
---|---|
dust studies | Dust measurements of all kinds and targets |
dynamic properties | Orbital parameters, proper elements, etc. |
historic references | Discovery circumstances, reference collections |
lightcurves | Light intensity variation with time, including rotational, secular, and occultation light curves |
meteoritics | Meteor shower counts, meteorite studies |
physical properties | Mass, density, albedo, etc. |
production rates | Quantification of mass loss from, e.g., the nucleus of a comet: molecule production rates, Afρ, etc. |
shape models | Shape models, slope models, terrain models, elevation models, etc. |
taxonomy | Physical and dynamical taxonomies of small bodies |
