Padua family

The Padua family (FIN: 507), also known as the Lydia family, is a mid-sized family of asteroids of more than a thousand members.

The family is at least 25 million years old. Its members were previously associated to 110 Lydia, and are predominantly X-type asteroids with an albedo of approximately 0.1. Together with the Agnia family, the Padua family is the only other family to have most of its members in a nonlinear secular resonance configuration, with more than 75% of its members in a z1 librating state.{{rp|23}}

The Paduan (Lydian) asteroids are located in the outer part of the central asteroid belt having a semi-major axis of approximately 2.75. The family's namesake is the asteroid 363 Padua, while 110 Lydia is now a suspected interloper, despite having the same spectral type.{{rp|23}}

Lydia former namesake and potential interloper

In previous works (Zappala et al. 1995), this family was named Lydia after 110 Lydia, which is an X-type asteroid in the SMASS classification (Tholen: M-type). While Lydia is still a member of the now-called Padua family (Nesvorny 2005, AstDyS), it has been suspected that it might be an interloper in its "own" family despite its matching spectral type (Carruba 2009; Mothe-Diniz et al. 2005).{{rp|369}}

Also, the asteroid 308 Polyxo was formerly considered the family's largest member. This T-type asteroid is no longer considered a family member and is categorized as a background asteroid on AstDyS.
