This dataset contains the asteroid dynamical family classifications
contained in Zappala, et al. (1995). These are
based on the hierarchical clustering method applied to the proper
elements of Milani and Knezevic (1994).
12,487 asteroids, numbered and unnumbered, are included.
The dataset also includes a compilation of the historical asteroid
families.
