This paper analyzed the role of mean-motion resonances in semi- major axis mobility of asteroids, and established a functional relationship that describes the dependence of the average time spent inside the resonance on the strength of this resonance and the semi-major axis drift speed.
Summary
Here was analyzed the role of mean-motion resonances in semi- major axis mobility of asteroids, and established a functional relationship that describes the dependence of the average time spent inside the resonance on the strength of this resonance and the semi-major axis drift speed. This analysis is extended in two directions: the distribution of time delays inside the resonance and found that it could be described by the modified Laplace asymmetric distribution. Second: how the time spent inside the resonance depends on orbital eccentricity, and propose a relation that allows taking this parameter into account as well.
