Is there a term for the study of asteroids?

I'm trying to find the name for the academic specialty of studying asteroids, but I can't seem to find any. For example, there is a distinct wikipedia page for "Planet" vs "Planetary science". … Are asteroids actually not interesting enough to have their own subfield? Does it get wrapped into planetary science? …
