Discussion Vacant Body ID's

So, I have been playing with journal files and one thing I've noticed, that some systems have vacant BodyID's.
The data was extracted using the Scan, ScanBaryCentre events for planets and the SAASignalsFound event for planet rings.
The systems in question were completely scanned with FSS and I even mapped every planet and ring.
Even searching the journal file manually for these specific ID's did not yield any results.
Am I missing something, or are there some other (module) requirements/scan methods I'm not aware of?
Or are these ID's, the remnants of some removed bodies or rings, that were removed by FDev at some point in the past?

Here's an example:

Here are the detected ID's:

As you can see, ID's 10, 12,13 and 14 are empty.
Any information would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Btw, is there a property for the TH/TD tag in BB code to set the width to the columns? Tried the HTML format (width=50), but it didn't work.
 
It's possible that those IDs are assigned to asteroid belts or other in game objects, not all of which are scannable (for instance comets?).

I've been doing some googling on this, and comets seem indeed to be a (invisible) thing in ED. Thanks.

Belts and rings, I have it covered, by extracting the Rings field from the Scan event, and from fields in SAASignalsFound events. I also use the Parents field to extract the body type info.
