Abstract
We present a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of Veritas family members located in a chaotic strip centeredat 3.174 AU. A total of 600 chaotic members of the family and their clones were integrated for 100 Myr, and the variation of the distance with respect to the barycenter of the family have been computed forall of them. A simple classification of the prevailing behaviors hasbeen introduced to help identify typical dynamical patterns and states that could affect an estimate of the upper bound to the age of the family. We pointed out the importance of the temporary captures in thequasi-stable states, which occur often enough to affect the statistical analysis of the exits. The results are compatible with the young age (<100 Myr) for the family of Veritas, but we cannot say precisely how young it really is.
