    Impact Risk Communication Management (1998–2004): Has It Improved?

    Although scares associated with potential Earth impacts by specific comets and asteroids date back to quite early in the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, respectively (e.g. Marsden 2004), the era of “modern” i...

    Discovery of five irregular moons of Neptune

    Each giant planet of the Solar System has two main types of moons. ‘Regular’ moons are typically larger satellites with prograde, nearly circular orbits in the equatorial plane of their host planets at distanc...

    Discovery of 12 satellites of Saturn exhibiting orbital clustering

    The giant planets in the Solar System each have two groups of satellites. The regular satellites move along nearly circular orbits in the planet's orbital plane, revolving about it in the same sense as the pla...

    The red ragged edge

    Small objects in the Kuiper belt - a zone at the very edge of our Solar System - appear to come in two shades. The redder ones may be furthest from the Sun.

    The Distant Satellites of Uranus and the Other Giant Planets

    The steady improvement in our knowledge of the orbits of the two new Uranian satellites is described, including the roles of the 1984 prediscovery images and the 1998 recovery observations. The recognition of ...

    Comet Size Distributions and Distant Activity

    We present the results of observations of distant comet nuclei as observed with the Keck II telescope during 1997 December. Our sample included 17 SP Jupiter-family comets, 3 Halley-family comets, and 1 dynami...

    Small Bodies in the Outer Solar System

    This report is a continuation of three earlier reviews (Marsden 1996a, 1996b, 1998) that included a summary of our orbital knowledge of the Kuiper Belt. Presented at conferences held in the middle of 1994, 1995 a...

    Discovery of two distant irregular moons of Uranus

    The systems of satellites and rings surrounding the giant planets in the Solar System have remarkably similar architectures1. Closest to each planet are rings with associated moonlets, then larger ‘regular’ satel...

    A new dynamical class of object in the outer Solar System

    Some three dozen objects have now been discovered1,2,3,4,5 beyond the orbit of Neptune and classified as members of the Kuiper belt—a remnant population of icy planetesimals that failed to be incorporated into pl...
