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 |
