The spectacular collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in
July 1994 was a unique event in the history of observational
astronomy. With a year's advance warning, astronomers and planetary
scientists around the world were able to co-ordinate an observing
campaign to track the event in unprecedented detail. A year after
the event, a workshop at the Space Telescope Science Institute
provided the first opportunity for them to bring together their
observations and found a new understanding of the impact. Based on
this meeting, sixteen invited reviews from authors selected as
international leaders in the study of the impact and its aftermath
are presented in this volume. The chapters have been edited and
arranged to provide a thorough and comprehensive overview of our
knowledge of the event. While our understanding of the impact will
evolve with future work, this book provides a solid foundation for
new insights that will follow. It will be a standard reference for
graduate students and researchers in astronomy and planetary
science.
