Abstract: | ISO performed a large variety of observing programmes on comets, asteroids and zodiacal light – covering about 1% of the archived
observations – with a surprisingly rewarding scientific return. Outstanding results were related to the exceptionally bright
comet Hale–Bopp and to ISO's capability to study in detail the water spectrum in a direct way. But many other results were
broadly recognised: Discovery of new molecules in comets, the studies of crystalline silicates, the work on asteroid surface
mineralogy, results from thermophysical studies of asteroids, a new determination of the asteroid number density in the main-belt
and last but not least, the investigations on the spatial and spectral features of the zodiacal light. |
