Main-belt Asteroids (MBA) are objects orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. There are 1,157,490 Main-belt Asteroids in this database out of 1,302,506 total, accounting for 88.9% of objects.
Jan 1, 2014 · The P asteroids peak at about 4 AU, and the D asteroids at 5.2 AU; they are probably richer in low-temperature materials such as carbon compounds, complex organics, clays, water, and volatiles and represent the transition between the rocky asteroids of the main belt and the volatile-rich comets in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.

Location of the main belt This plot shows the location of the main belt with respect to the planets and the Sun as well as the orbital structure of asteroid inclinations and number density of objects (yellow represents the highest number density, blue the lowest). Figure from DeMeo and Carry (2014).
Summary. From the viewpoint of planet formation in the Solar System, Main Belt asteroids are the remnants of the so-called planetesimal population, the building bricks of planets that formed ubiquitously all over the Solar Nebula. Over the last years evidence has grown that planetesimals formed big from the gravitational collapse of a local ...
