We will take NIR spectra of our targets belonging to this newly discovered family and compare them to the NIR spectrum found in the literature of nearby families in the inner-Main belt. One of the outcomes of our observations could be that the spectra of our primordial family targets could be similar to those of other inner-Main belt families possibly suggesting a link between the primordial families in the inner-Main Belt.
