Scientific paper

Colors of minor planets in the UBV system indicate compositions quite
distinct from those of the field population in each of three Hirayama
families. The Eos and Koronis families apparently originated from the
collisional fragmentation of undifferentiated silicate bodies, and the
Nysa group from a geochemically differentiated parent body
