The Phocaea (foh-SEE) asteroids are a group of main-belt asteroids that orbit the Sun between 2.25 and 2.5 AU. Asteroids in this group have orbits with eccentricities greater than 0.1 and inclinations between 18 and 32. The group derives its name from its most massive member, 25 Phocaea which is about 75 km in diameter.
