In the following plots we report the size distribution
of real and synthetic members of Adeona (first row), Gefion, and Dora (only
synthetic members). For the real members, their size was determined
by using their absolute magnitude and the albedo (when available, otherwise
a value obtained by averaging the known albedo of the other members of
the family was used). The Adeona family is dominated by Adeona itself,
with a radius of 75 km, while the largest object in Gefion has a radius
of ~18 km. The size distribution of the synthetic families
is dominated by smaller objects, in order to maximize the effect of the
Yarkovsky force.
