At a GlanceAI
Framework to quantify strength, stability, and 3D structure of solar-system mean-motion resonances.
SummaryAI
The work provides a way to characterize mean-motion resonances beyond simple location, focusing on their strength, stability, and fully three-dimensional structure. It aims to make resonance identification and comparison more systematic across different eccentricities and inclinations, which is essential for understanding how resonances shape small-body dynamics. By emphasizing 3D behavior, it supports more realistic modeling of resonant capture, long-term confinement, and transport in the Solar System.
