    Abstract
  • C-type asteroids are mainly composed of silicates and carbon-rich organic matter, which preserve the original materials of the early formation of solar system. They are important clues to understand the early formation of the solar system, and have important scientific significance for revealing the origin and evolution of water and life. At present, the understanding of the composition characteristics of asteroids is mainly based on spectral characteristics analysis. However, the long-term space weathering will change the spectral characteristics, so the understanding of the composition of asteroids needs to accurately clarify the effects of space weathering on the spectra. With the advancement of the asteroid exploration in China, it is necessary to understand the spectral characteristics and variation rules of C-type asteroids. This paper summarizes the spectral characteristics of C-type asteroids (e.g., the reflectance spectra, absorption of water and organic matter) and the influence of space weathering on C-type asteroid, analyzes the main problems existing in the research, and points out the future development trend and research focus of this research direction.
