Scientific paper

Thermal histories of asteroids have been calculated for the first 300 million years after their formation, with heating depending on the decay of Al-26 and the energy of the impacts of the asteroid-forming bodies. The calculations were made taking into account the growth of the asteroids and changes in the thermal conductivity of their surface layers; these considerations have a substantial influence on the results. The calculated rates of cooling were found to agree with meteoritic data.
