Asteroid Family Identification
2002
Asteroid families have long been known to exist, although only recently has the availability of new reliable statistical techniques made it possible to identify a number of very “robust” groupings. These results have laid the foundation for modern physical studies of families, thought to be the direct result of energetic collisional events. A short summary of the current state of affairs in the field of family identification is given, including a list of the most reliable families currently known. Some likely future developments are also discussed.
