title = "Spitzer{\textquoteright}s Solar System studies of asteroids, planets and the zodiacal cloud",
abstract = "In its 16 years of scientific measurements, the Spitzer Space Telescope performed a number of groundbreaking and key infrared measurements of Solar System objects near and far. In this second of two Review Articles, we describe results from Spitzer observations of asteroids, dust rings and planets that provide new insight into the formation and evolution of our Solar System. The key Spitzer results presented here can be grouped into three broad classes: characterizing the physical properties of asteroids, notably including a large survey of near-Earth objects; detection and characterization of several dust/debris disks in the Solar System; and comprehensive characterization of ice giant (Uranus and Neptune) atmospheres. Many of these observations provide critical foundations for future infrared space-based observations.",

note = "Funding Information: The authors would like to thank the Spitzer project, without which none of the science described above would have been possible. The dedication, competence and excellence with which the staff of the Spitzer Science Center carried out their mission, and in particular observations of Solar System objects, is greatly appreciated, and has produced a scientific foundation that will last for decades. This work is based on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which was operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA, in some cases through an award issued by JPL/Caltech. Y.F. acknowledges support of a SIRTF/Spitzer Fellowship.
