Scientific paper

If the Taurid Complex asteroids (plus 2P/Encke) are derived from the fragmentation of a giant comet over the past 20-30 kyr, as we have suggested elsewhere, then we need to identify some mechanism which could cause the observed dispersion in semimajor axes (1.8<a<2.6 au), eccentricities (0.64<e<0.85), and longitudes of perihelion (100 deg
