At a Glance

Large-scale overview of two-body resonances WITH ALL planets in the Solar System

Summary

The authors, using numerical integration of the equations of motion of numbered asteroids from the AstDyS catalog, identify asteroids that are in two-body resonances with the planets. Unlike previous studies, all eight planets are considered, rather than only Jupiter or Mars. The prevalence of two-body resonances in the Solar System is analyzed.
