Abstract

We review the evidence for buried ice in the asteroid belt; specifically the questions around the so-called Main Belt Comets (MBCs). We summarise the evidence for water throughout the Solar System, and describe the various methods for detecting it, including remote sensing from ultraviolet to radio wavelengths. We review progress in the first decade of study of MBCs, including observations, modelling of ice survival, and discussion on their origins. We then look at which methods will likely be most effective for further progress, including the key challenge of direct detection of (escaping) water in these bodies.

太阳系的彗星和冰的主带

我们回顾了小行星带中埋藏冰的证据;特别是围绕所谓的主带彗星的问题。我们总结了整个太阳系存在水的证据，并描述了探测水的各种方法，包括从紫外线到无线电波长的遥感。我们回顾了近十年来对冰碛物研究的进展，包括观测、冰碛物生存模型和对冰碛物起源的讨论。然后，我们看看哪些方法可能对进一步的进展最有效，包括直接检测(逸出)这些身体中的水的关键挑战。

期刊介绍： The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review is a journal that covers all areas of astronomy and astrophysics. It includes subjects related to other fields such as laboratory or particle physics, cosmic ray physics, studies in the solar system, astrobiology, instrumentation, and computational and statistical methods with specific astronomical applications. The frequency of review articles depends on the level of activity in different areas. The journal focuses on publishing review articles that are scientifically rigorous and easily comprehensible. These articles serve as a valuable resource for scientists, students, researchers, and lecturers who want to explore new or unfamiliar fields. The journal is abstracted and indexed in various databases including the Astrophysics Data System (ADS), BFI List, CNKI, CNPIEC, Current Contents/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, Dimensions, EBSCO Academic Search, EI Compendex, Japanese Science and Technology, and more.
