A decade after the confirmation of the Kuiper Belt's existence, 80
of the world's experts gathered in Chile to review what has been
learned since 1992. This record of the meeting is enhanced by
several specially solicited papers covering additional material not
presented at the conference. The volume includes papers on the
dynamics of the trans-Neptunian region, the results of deep surveys
for the new objects and the evidence for an outer Edge to the
Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Physical observations of many objects are
described and attempts are made to bring these data into some
coherent picture of the distant solar system. The interior physics
of these distant, icy objects, and the link between the Kuiper Belt
and dust disks around other stars are also considered. Of
particular interest is a set of papers on how the surfaces of
distant asteroids are affected by various types of radiation, an
area crucial to the interpretation of data being collected by large
ground based telescopes.
Suitable for professional astronomers and PhD students working in
the field of planetary science.
