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
