	Phocaea group
		A cluster of asteroids in the main asteroid belt that were perturbed into high inclination (21 to 25°) orbits by the gravitational effect of the major planets, notably Jupiter, during the earliest period of solar system.
		The group is named after its first discovered member, (25) Phocaea, found in 1853 by the French astronomer Jean Chacornac (1823-1873), although its largest member is the C-class asteroid (105) Artemis, with a diameter of 126 km.
		Most of the Phocaea group is a ragbag assemblage of objects without a common ancestry; however, certain members, including (323) Brucia, (852) Wladilena, and (1568) Aisleen, may form a true Hirayama family.

		The orbits of most asteroids lie partially between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
		These so-called main-belt asteroids are divided into subgroups named for the main asteroid in the grouping: Hungarias, Floras, Phocaea, Koronis, Eos, Themis, Cybeles, and Hildas.
		The near-earth asteroids, which closely approach the earth, are classed as Atens (with orbits between the earth and the sun), Apollos (with orbits similar to that of the earth), and Amors (with orbits between the earth and Mars).
