Scientific paper

From comparison of the mass ratio and velocity dispersion between the asteroid family members, we find that the fragmentation processes in the asteroid belt could be generally classified into three types: (a) surface cratering; (b) spallation; and (c) complete breakup as observed in the laboratory hypervelocity impact experiments. Whether there is ongoing accretion for large bodies like Ceres, as an additional type of collision process, is still an open question to be answered by further study.
