Top panel: cumulative magnitude distribution N(< H) of the Adelaide family members. The black symbols are all 79 known members (including the largest asteroid (535) Adelaide shown by the diamond), the red symbols are 63 members detected by CSS during the phase 2 operations. The top abscissa indicates an approximate size computed from H with an assumption of pV = 0.24 value of the geometric albedo. Bottom panel: detection probability p(H) of Adelaide members as a function of H during the phase 2 operations of CSS based on analysis of geometric and photometric detection factors ran on a large synthetic population of Adelaide members. We find that p = 1 up to H ≃ 18.2 magnitude, which sets the limit where the Adelaide population is complete (dashed line on the upper panel). Beyond this limit p decreases to zero at about 20.4 magnitude.
