Collisions are one of the key processes shaping planetary systems. Asteroid families are
outcomes of such collision still identifiable across our solar system. The families provide a …

Asteroid families are groups of asteroids that share a common origin. They can be the
outcome of a collision or be the result of the rotational failure of a parent body or its satellites …

ABSTRACT We apply the Hierarchical Clustering method (HCM) and Selective Backward
Integration method (BIM) to search for associated families and young families for all main …

Context. At present, near-Earth objects (NEOs) are being discovered at an ever-increasing
rate. However, their physical characterisation is still significantly lagging behind. In …

Though pairs of dynamically associated asteroids in the Main Belt have been identified and
studied for over a decade, very few pair systems have been identified in the near-Earth …

Context. Primitive asteroids consisting of mainly phyllosilicates and opaque minerals have
great variation at near-ultraviolet (NUV) wavelengths (0.35–0.5 μm). The absorption in NUV …

Asteroid families are groups of objects sharing similar orbits. They are mostly the results of
past collisions between two asteroids. Recent studies have shown that some asteroid …

Recently, we have shown that it is possible, despite several biases and uncertainties, to find
footprints of the Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effect, concerning the …

The minimal sizes of impactors that produced asteroid families were calculated, and their
maximal sizes, ie the size that corresponds to head-on collisions, were estimated. We used …

Asteroid families are groups of asteroids that are identifiable in domains of proper elements.
They may be the outcome of a collision, or the product of rotational fission. Among collisional …
