Observations of comets and asteroids

Abstract

The origin and evolution of the solar system is studied by carrying out a wide variety of observational programs on the small bodies of the solar system. The more immediate observational goal is to determine the physical and chemical nature primarily of comets and secondarily of asteroids. This requires observations at all wavelengths from ultraviolet to radio as well as theoretical modelling.
