Scientific paper

Using the (μ,ν,Ti)-criterion of the relationship of the solar system small bodies, the authors have confirmed the existence of the Vesta-like asteroid family selected by Binzel and Xu Shui. More than 100 new probable members of this family are identified. The majority of these asteroids are very small bodies filling the space between Vesta and the Jovian 3:1 resonance region. The rest of them are at the inner border of the asteroid belt. The authors suppose that just such small asteroids are the sources of meteorites whose spectra are very similar to the Vesta's one. It is necessary to study the sample by means of spectrophotometric methods in order to confirm the belonging of the asteroids to the Vesta family and their genetical relation with basalt meteorites.
