Summary

Diagrams showing the location and characteristics of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunomia_family" class="extiw" title="en:Eunomia family">Eunomia family</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asteroid" class="extiw" title="en:asteroid">asteroids</a>. Where circles are plotted, their diameter is proportional to the mean diameter of the asteroid.

In the top diagrams, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/proper_orbital_elements" class="extiw" title="en:proper orbital elements">proper orbital elements</a> are plotted (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/inclination" class="extiw" title="en:inclination">inclination</a> ip vs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/semi-major_axis" class="extiw" title="en:semi-major axis">semi-major axis</a> ap on the left, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/inclination" class="extiw" title="en:inclination">inclination</a> ip vs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eccentricity_(orbit)" class="extiw" title="en:eccentricity (orbit)">eccentricity</a> ep on the right) for numbered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asteroid" class="extiw" title="en:asteroid">asteroids</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_belt" class="extiw" title="en:main belt">main belt</a>.

In the bottom enlargements, one has:

  • core family members (shown in red) are those identified by the 1995 Zappala (V. Zappala et al, Icarus Vol. 116, p. 291 (1995)) HCM method analysis. The data set <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.psi.edu/pds/archive/astdata/FAMILY/family.tab">is here</a>.
  • interlopers (shown in green) were identified either:
    • by the spectroscopic analysis of Lazzaro et al (Lazarro et al The Eunomia Family: A Visible Spectroscopic Survey, Icarus, Vol. 142, p. 445 (1999),
    • and also by inspection of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.psi.edu/pds/archive/tax.html">PDS asteroid taxonomy data set</a> for non S-type members of the above Zappala 1995 data-set.
  • numbered asteroids in general (shown as small blue dots), from the AstDys database.

The location of asteroids that are very large and/or explicitly named on the plot is shown by a light cross within the circle.

Asteroid diameters were obtained from two sources:

The diagrams were created by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deuar" class="extiw" title="en:User:Deuar">me</a> (Piotr Deuar) using proper element data for 96944 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/minor_planet" class="extiw" title="en:minor planet">minor planets</a>, which was obtained from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://hamilton.dm.unipi.it/cgi-bin/astdys/astibo?proper_elements:0;main">AstDys site</a>. Data was dated March 2005, calculation was by Z. Knezevic and A. Milani.
