Scientific paper

Asteroids with very slow rotation rates, up to 100 times slower than the mean for ordinary asteroids, are clearly a statistically distinct population from the rest. The cause of such slow rotation has remained a mystery since the discovery of the population about 20 years ago. The expected distribution of slow rotations for three-dimensional rotation vectors f--> if uniform near the origin (e.g., a three-dimensional Maxwellian distribution) would be N (
