Asteroid science is a fundamental topic in planetary science and is
key to furthering our understanding of planetary formation and the
evolution of the Solar System. Ground-based observations and
missions have provided a wealth of new data in recent years, and
forthcoming missions promise further exciting results. This
accessible book presents a comprehensive introduction to asteroid
science, summarising the astronomical and geological
characteristics of asteroids. The interdisciplinary nature of
asteroid science is reflected in the broad range of topics covered,
including asteroid and meteorite classification, chemical and
physical properties of asteroids, observational techniques,
cratering, and the discovery of asteroids and how they are named.
Other chapters discuss past, present and future space missions and
the threat that these bodies pose for Earth. Based on an
upper-level course on asteroids and meteorites taught by the
author, this book is ideal for students, researchers and
professional scientists looking for an overview of asteroid
science.
