The HED Meteorites: The HED meteorite group is so named for the three types of meteorites that comprise the group; Howardite, Eucrite and Diogenite. The Eucrite and Diogenite are meteorites with distinct chemistries, while the Howardite is a mix of the Eucrite and Diogenite material. The HEDs are differentiated achondritic meteorites, thought to originate from the large differentiated asteroid 4 Vesta. The Vesta parent body origin for the HED clan is considered to have been conclusively established for many years. However, some leading researchers are now starting to suspect they originated from a larger Vesta-like asteroid that was blown apart long ago. This is because we also find a class of iron meteorites with the exact isotopic genetics as the HED clan, leading some researchers to conclude the HED meteorites come from a larger Vestan-like body that was in a cataclysmic collision that liberated part or all of its metal core. This hypothesis does not rule out the possibility that all of the material including Vesta and the Vestoids and the HED meteorites were once part of a much larger dwarf planet prior to this collision.
