V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated with a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, which is located in the inner part of the ...

The Cybele region, located between the 2J:-1A and 5J:-3A mean-motion resonances, is adjacent and exterior to the asteroid main belt. An increasing density of three-body resonances makes the region between the Cybele and ...

The asteroid (2121) Sevastopol is a binary asteroid from the main belt. The duplicity of the asteroid was discovered based on photometric observations of mutual phenomena (eclipses and occultations) that were detected in ...

Many asteroid families are identified and well characterized all over the main asteroid belt. Interestingly, however, none of them are older than 4. Gyr. Many mechanisms have been proposed to disperse such old primordial ...
