 | | Recently two V-type asteroids (809 Lundia and 956 Elisa, Florczak et al., 2002) have been discovered near the Flora family, well outside the limits of the Vesta family. |
 | | Our simulations show that members of the Vesta dynamical family captured in three-body and secular resonances may drift until they reach the 2(g-g6)+s-s6 (z2, in the notation of Milani and Knezevic, 1993) secular resonance, where they are temporary captured for timescales of 1 Byr or more. |
 | | This two-step mechanism could explain the current resonant orbits of 809 Lundia, 956 Elisa, and 6406 1992 MJ. |
