Description
Harris' (1979) theory on the collisional evolution of the asteroid spin rates is compared with the observational evidence provided by the statistics of photometric data. The resulting discrepancies can be qualitatively explained as due to different physical processes, occurred in the frame of the asteroid collisional history and connected in particular with the outcomes of catastrophic impact events.
