Title: Reconstructing the History of the Solar System: Using Astronomical Observations, Laboratory Analyses, and Theories
Abstract: Studying primitive asteroids provides valuable insights into the physical and chemical processes that occurred during the early formation of the solar system. Our approach involves various methods, including astronomical observations using spacecraft instruments and ground- and space-based telescopes (such as JWST). We also analyze meteorite analog samples and study samples returned from primitive asteroids (such as Ryugu and Bennu) in the laboratory. By integrating these observations and sample analyses with thermal and dynamical evolution theories, our goal is to reconstruct the history of the solar system.
