Abstract Volatile compositions of asteroids provide information on the Solar System history and the origins of Earth's volatiles. Visible to near‐infrared observations at wavelengths of 4) and low temperatures (10 au) and could be transported to their current locations. Earth's high hydrogen to carbon ratio may be explained by accretion of these water‐rich progenitors.
