==Possible Hebe family== In the 1990s, Hebe was identified as a possible source for [[H chondrite]]s and [[IIE iron meteorite]]s.<ref name="Gaffey1998"/>{{rp|1293}}<ref name="Fieber-Beyer2020"/>{{rp|3}} Its location near the 3:1 Jovian MMR and the <math>\nu_{\rm 6}</math> Saturnian secular resonance means that fragments created by [[impact event]]s are easily destabilized into Earth-crossing orbits, where they could eventually impact Earth as meteorites.<ref name="Farinella1993a"/>{{rp|288,300}} Indeed, the H chondritic surface compositions of two [[near-Earth object]]s{{mdash}}[[(4953) 1990 MU]] and 2007 LE{{mdash}}point towards Hebe as their parent body.<ref name="Kelley2014"/>{{rp|65}}<ref name="Fieber-Beyer2015"/>{{rp|436}} [[reflectance spectrum|Spectral observations]] of asteroids near the 3:1 Kirkwood gap in the early 2010s identified [[695 Bella]], [[1166 Sakuntala]], and [[1607 Mavis]] as potential relatives of Hebe.<ref name="Fieber-Beyer2011"/>{{rp|531β532}}<ref name="Gaffey2013"/> However, they are located on the opposite side of the 3:1 Kirkwood gap, indicating that they jumped across the gap.<ref name="Fieber-Beyer2020"/>{{rp|3β4}} In 2020, a study led by Sherry K. Fieber-Beyer identified nine additional candidate members of the tentative Hebe family, with some located on Hebe's side of the 3:1 Kirkwood gap.<ref name="Fieber-Beyer2020"/>{{rp|1}}
