• Structure and density of cometary nuclei (2008, background): “A diameter of 1.5 km is a fairly typical (even small) nucleus diameter as compared with measured values (Weissman and Lowry 2003; Meech et al. 2004; Lamy et al. 2004), whereas 8–10 km represents a fairly large nucleus, and hence likely a much rarer event.”
• Density of asteroids (2012, background): “Current knowledge of the physical properties of comet nuclei is therefore still limited (Lamy et al., 2004).”
