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

The recent discovery of a relatively small basaltic asteroid in the outer main belt with no apparent link to (4) Vesta raised several hypotheses on its origin. We present the results of a dynamical and mineralogical study of the region near (1459) Magnya intended to establish its origin. The dynamic
The orbits of about 3000 fictitious asteroids, representing a process. The previous studies included simulations with sample sizes of possible distribution of bodies in the early Solar System, were a few hundred. In this study, the behavior of about 3000 objects was investigated by numerical integra
