Asteroid family: History, List & Origin and evolution

An asteroid family is a population of asteroids that share similar proper orbital elements, such as semi-major axis, eccentricity, and orbital inclination. The members of the families are thought to be fragments of past asteroid collisions. An asteroid family is a more specific term than asteroid group, whose members, while sharing some broad orbital…
