Catalog of three-body resonances in the Solar System and statistics on the most "populated"
Summary
Since the 1990s it has been known that there are three-body resonances with Jupiter and Saturn in the Solar System, and that they affect the dynamics of Main Belt asteroids. This article answers the question of whether there are three-body resonances with other planetary combinations, and if so, which ones? Spoiler: yes — there are many, and in practically any combinations of planets.
