This paper builds on preliminary work in which numerical simulations of the collisional disruption of large asteroids (represented by the Eunomia and Koronis family parent bodies) were performed and which accounted not only for the fragmentation of the solid body through crack propagation, but also
The restricted three-body dynamics of the asteroid-planet-Sun system in the heliocentric frame is generalized to include the action of an existing massive planetary satellite. The introduction of a planetary satellite allows the asteroid to change both its angular momentum and its energy with respec
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
