Descripción
We present a compositional classification of 374 V-type asteroids selected from the MOVIS catalogue. The classification was made by comparing the V-types colors with those of a sample of 65 HED(Howardites, Eucrites, Diogenites) meteorites from RELAB database. We found that 51 % of the V-type asteroids can be associated with Eucrites, 29 % with Howardites and 20 % with Diogenites. From the collisional family point of view, about 100 (27% of the sample) asteroids belongs to (4) Vesta family, 246 asteroids (66%) are not assigned to any family of asteroids and the rest 28 (7%) have been associated with various other families.
