Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | THE ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS REVIEW | Number: | 25 | Issue: | 1 | 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. | Note: | Invited review for Astron.
