| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated the dynamical origin of near-Earth asteroids both in numerical and observational ways. In our numerical study, a result of ours tells us that the Oort Cloud new comets coming from a very distant area outside of the planetary region is not negligible as a source region of the near-Earth asteroids. In our observational study, we have revealed that the rotational velocity distribution of collisional fragments (i.e. young family asteroid members) show certain trend with respect to their shape (i.e. peak to trough variation in their lightcurves). Asteroid families are direct consequence of collisions and disruptions in the solar system, and they have a large significance in understanding evolution processes of the near-Earth asteroids.
