Shows how Kozai–Lidov secular dynamics operates inside retrograde mean-motion resonances.
The work connects two key dynamical processes for small bodies: retrograde mean-motion resonances and Kozai–Lidov-type coupled oscillations of eccentricity and inclination. By focusing on Kozai–Lidov behavior specifically within retrograde resonances, it clarifies when resonance capture can trigger or modify secular protection mechanisms. This is important for interpreting the long-term stability, orbital flips, and high-inclination evolution of retrograde minor bodies interacting with planets.
