At a GlanceAI
Explains how asteroids are captured into, and persist within, the exterior 1:2 mean-motion resonance with Mars.
SummaryAI
The work focuses on the origin and long-term sustainability of asteroids trapped in the exterior 1:2 mean-motion resonance with Mars. It aims to clarify how this resonant population is supplied (capture) and what dynamical conditions allow it to survive over time. By addressing both source and stability, it informs how resonances with terrestrial planets can shape small-body distributions and maintain distinct asteroid sub-populations.
