Asteroid and Meteorite Connections to the Early Solar System: Results and Upcoming Prospects from Telescopic and Spacecraft Explorations
Geochemical and isotopic analyses of meteorites open a window to the cosmochemical and physical processes of planetary formation. Yet meteorites arrive without a "return address label" that limits their inference to localization within the protoplanetary disk. In this talk we will review telescopic methods and results achieving asteroid and meteorite links, highlight results from sample-return spacecraft missions, and preview upcoming spacecraft missions exploring new regions and chemistries for asteroids.
