Bodies in this structure are classified as C-type, S-type, and M-type based on composition.
Bodies in this structure are classified as C-type, S-type, and M-type based on composition. Objects in this region are perturbed by thermal photons in the Yarkovsky effect. The outer edges of this region contain D-type objects, which according to the Nice model were captured during the late heavy bombardment. Objects in this region are sorted into Hirayama families based on clumps in a proper inclination vs eccentricity plot. The frost line is found within this region, which contains a series of features created by (*) 4:1 and 5:2 resonances with a nearby massive body; those are Kirkwood gaps. This region contains Vesta, Ceres, and Pallas. For 10 points, name this region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, which is filled with space rocks.
