Scientific paper

We have quantitatively modeled the chance insertion of asteroid collisional fragments into the 3:1 and g = g6 resonances, through which they can achieve Earth-approaching orbits. Although the results depend on some poorly known parameters, they indicate that most meteorites and near-earth asteroids probably come from a small and non-representative sample of asteroids, located in the neighborhood of the two resonances.
