The Flora family (adj. Florian; FIN: 402; also known as the Ariadne family) is a prominent family of stony asteroids located in the inner region of the asteroid belt. It is one of the largest families with more than 13,000 known members, or approximately 3.5% of all main-belt asteroids .
Formed from a catastrophic collision of a parent body larger than 150km in diameter, the Flora family is located in the innermost part of the main belt near then 6 secular resonance.
Mar 23, 2017 · Formed from a catastrophic collision of a parent body larger than 150 km in diameter, the Flora family is located in the innermost part of the main belt near the secular resonance. Objects in this region, when pushed onto planet-crossing orbits, tend to have relatively high probabilities of striking the Earth.

Jul 1, 2019 · The Flora family, being located near the inner edge of the main asteroid belt, is one of the largest asteroid families in the inner main belt 6. In addition, since the Flora family is very close to the ν 6 secular resonance, it may be one of the major contributors to the near-earth asteroids (NEAs) and meteorites, as the research suggested 7 .
