Augusta family
The Augusta family is a small asteroid family in the inner asteroid belt according to a HCM-study conducted by Italian astronomer Vincenzo Zappalà and colleges in 1995. The largest members of this family include 254 Augusta (parent body) and 5535 Annefrank (1942 EM). In this study, a total of 23 members were identified out of a small data set of 12,487 asteroids.[1] A more recent HCM-study by Nesvorný in 2014 no longer includes this family.[2][3]
Members
[edit]This is the complete list of members of the Augusta family as identified by Zappalà (1995).[1] They are grouped into the larger complex of the Flora family by Nesvorný (2014), except for five asteroids, which were reassigned to the main belt's background population (marked as BG).[2][3]
