SB13

Asteroids preserve a record of the formation and evolution of the Solar System, encoded in their composition and physical properties. Over the past decades, significant progress has been achieved through a combination of telescopic observations, laboratory analyses of meteorites, and in-situ measurements by space missions. These complementary approaches provide critical constraints on asteroid mineralogy, surface processes, internal structure, and evolutionary pathways. The aim of this session is to bring together observational and experimental studies addressing the composition and physical characteristics of asteroids across different populations.
