Scientific paper

In this paper we present a short review of recent results, devoted to understanding the distribution of main-belt asteroids in certain classes of spectral type (i.e. their composition) as well as the "genetic" relationship between different types of asteroids and collected meteorites. As we will show below, spectroscopic observations and dynamical models can be combined to greatly enhance the significance of parent-body identification for meteorites. Conversely, careful examination of the distribution of asteroids in specific spectral classes can yield important information about key dynamical processes that once shaped our solar system, or still act on Near Earth Asteroids.
