New clusters for highly inclined main-belt asteroids
Abstract
We search for new, high-inclination clusters in the main-belt asteroid population using the D-criterion. We find three possible new clusters: 31 Euphrosyne, 702 Alauda and 945 Barcelona. We provide simple ephemerides for the next oppositions in the time interval 2004-2008, in order to motivate physical observations of the candidates, to check their reliability as families.
