The relative fraction of NEOs in the combined sample from each of the M. Granvik et al. (2018) source regions as a function of H magnitude. The prevalence of an inner belt ν6 origin for small objects suggests they should be dominated by S-class objects from the Flora family; however, our results find the opposite. This may be because small objects can sample a wider swath of the Main Belt due to their increased mobility under the Yarkovsky effect.
