At a Glance
This allows one to determine the distribution that represents the best data obtained for time delays <dtr> caused by the resonances on the mobility of an asteroid in the main belt.
Summary
It is reported findings about the effect of 11 two-body mean-motion resonances (MMRs) with Jupiter, on the mobility of an asteroid’s semimajor axis caused by the Yarkovsky effect. This study is accomplished using numerical integrations of test particles. The obtained results reveal that MMRs could either speed up or slow down the drift in the semimajor axis. Moreover, this allows to determine the distribution that represents the best data obtained for time delays <dtr> caused by the resonances on the mobility of an asteroid. It is found a certain functional relationship that describes dependence of the average time lead/lag.
