IAU Symposium 263 provides a state-of-the-art review of icy bodies
in the Solar System, a topic crucial to understanding processes
involved in the Solar System's formation, the consequences for
water on planets, and ultimately, the habitable zones around other
stars. Ice-rich planetesimals which form beyond the snow line are
discussed, using an interdisciplinary approach. The main topics
covered include: accretion of icy grains in the protoplanetary
disk, the long-period comet flux and the Oort cloud population,
transfer mechanisms of bodies from their source regions to the
Sun's neighborhood, the physics and dynamics of trans-Neptunian
objects, transition objects (comets and asteroids), cryovolcanism
and modeling the interiors of icy bodies, and a review of past,
present and future space missions. This volume gives a broad
overview of the importance of these bodies, from comets up to
liquid water on terrestrial planets, and the formation of ices in
the Solar System.
