Asteroids with very slow rotation rates, up to 100 times slower than the mean for ordinary asteroids, are clearly a statistically distinct population from the rest. The cause of such slow rotation has remained a mystery since the discovery of the population about 20 years ago. The expected distribut

We present an analysis of the distribution of asteroid spin rates vs. size. The existence of significant populations of both slow and fast rotators among asteroids smaller than D = 40 km, and especially below 10 km (where our sample is mostly near-Earth asteroids), is shown. We have found that the e
