The Neil–Gehrels Swift Observatory has added extensively to our understanding of small bodies in our solar system through its capabilities to rapidly respond to short-live events such as outbursts and collisions, through its near-ultraviolet coverage, and by its ability to track time-dependent changes through monitoring campaigns. These capabilities have enabled many significant studies, including the onset and evolution of different sources of water in comet C/2009 P1 (Garradd), the unprecedented changes in the rotation period of comet 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák, near-UV spectroscopic observations of asteroids that can help us understand how their properties evolve over time, and the first observations of the aftermath of a collision between a 100 m sized asteroid and the large primitive asteroid 596 (Scheila). In this review paper, we will highlight some of the observational results of Swift-UVOT in the field of small-body research. Full article
