Abstract: | Planetesimals are intermediate stages, in the kilometer size range between interstellar matter and large bodies such as planets and stars. Planetesimals can still be studied in the form of asteroids although they have been modified by mutual collisions since their formation. The collisional fragments are gravitationally perturbed by Jupiter into the inner part of the solar system where they are observed as near-earth asteroids |
