Notes. Very young families 1 with abundant population of known members allow us to estimate parameters of the bias-corrected population. Very young families 2 contain smaller numbers of known members; here we can only indicate steep progression of currently unobservable members. Starving families and asteroid pairs contain up to three members only; here we aim at disproving additional members with absolute magnitude smaller than some threshold. The first column identifies the asteroid category: AF for the asteroid family, AP for the asteroid pair. The second column provides the name, the third and fourth column give number of known members and number of members detected by Catalina Sky Survey. The last column states in brief our goals in this work.
