We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose photometric colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. Fifty basaltic candidates were selected with orbital elements tha
Near-infrared spectra (βΌ0.90 to βΌ1.65 Β΅m) are presented for 181 main-belt asteroids, more than half having diameters less than 20 km. These spectra were measured using a specialized grism at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, where the near-infrared wavelength coverage is designed to complement v
Asteroid families represent the outcomes of major collisional events in the asteroid Main Belt. These events produced in some cases huge numbers of fragments, down to sizes of at least 1 km in diameter. In this paper we show that these families produce a significant increase in the "local" collision
