Asteroid groups may either form because of collisions or the rotational failure of a parent body. Collisional asteroid families tend to be more spread in proper element domains, while young spin clusters are usually much more compact. Recently, it has been shown that young spin clusters may form at higher rates in extremely young asteroid families…
