Meteoritic and Asteroidal Constraints on the Identification and Collisional Evolution of Asteroid FamiliesStudies of meteorites and observations of asteroids can provide important constraints on the formation and evolution of asteroid families. The iron meteorites alone require the disruption of 85 differentiated asteroids, and the potential formation of 85 families. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
