Asteroids are the small, usually rocky, bodies that reside primarily in a belt between Mars and Jupiter. Individually, and as a population, they carry the signatures of the evolutionary processes that gave birth to the Solar System and shaped our planetary neighbourhood, as well as informing us about processes on broader scales and deeper cosmic times. The main asteroid belt is a lively place where the physical, rotational and orbital properties of asteroids are governed by a complicated interplay of collisions, planetary resonances, radiation forces, and the formation and fission of secondary bodies. The proceedings of IAU Symposium 318 are organised around the following core themes: origins, collisional evolution, orbital evolution, rotational evolution, and evolutional coupling. Together the contributions highlight the ongoing, exciting challenges for graduate students and researchers in this diverse field of study.

Liquid water is essential for the emergence of life at least as we know it on Earth. Written by recognized experts in the field, this volume provides a complete inventory of water throughout the Solar System and a comprehensive overview of the evolution of water from the interstellar medium to the final planetesimals and planets.Through a series of up-to-date review papers, the book describes how water influences the geophysical evolutions of bodies and how it is in turn affected by such evolutions. Processes like atmospheric escape under the effect of stellar irradiation and collisional impacts are discussed in detail, with specific emphasis on the consequences for the budgets of water and volatile elements in general. Specific papers on the emergence of life on Earth and the prospects of habitability on extrasolar planets are included.The papers take an interdisciplinary approach to habitability, addressing it from the perspectives of astronomy, planetary science, geochemistry, geophysics and biology. Comprehensive yet easy to read, this volume serves as an invaluable resource to scholarly, professional and general audiences alike.Originally published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection "The Delivery of Water to Protoplanets, Planets and Satellites"

This essential collection from leading experts in the field of early solar system sciences and astrophysics provides a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of how planetary systems form, and in particular how our solar system formed.Our knowledge about solar system evolution is based on a broad foundation of chemical and isotope data from meteorites and their components such as Ca,Al-rich inclusions, chondrules, matrix, and presolar grains, as well as from astromaterials of sample return missions, and modelling accretion processes. The chapters in this volume present the latest data and modelling results from cosmochemistry and astrophysics, and discuss their implications for early solar system evolution from the earliest solids formed in the protoplanetary disk, all the way to accretion and differentiation of planetesimals and planet formation. The importance of past, current, and future space missions is highlighted in this context.The volume is aimed at researchers and advanced students in the field of meteoritics, cosmochemistry, astrophysics, and planetary sciences. Often, the articles take controversial views into account, rather than promoting individual views.Reprinted from Space Science Reviews, Topical Collection: Evolution of the Solar System: Constraints from Meteorites
