A fast method to identify mean motion resonances

Forgács-Dajka, E. et al. (2018). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

A nice add-on to the classical method of MMR identification based on the analysis of resonant angles. I don't know how it works with objects trapped in multiple resonances at the same time.

Planetary migration and extrasolar planets in the 2/1 mean-motion resonance

Beaugé, C. et al. (2005). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

A key work on the von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai integral as applied to asteroid dynamics. It derives the key integral (in the restricted three-body problem) (1-e^2)cos^2i, the stationary solution at 90°/270°, the critical angles (i>39°.2), and phase diagrams.

Although Pluto is far from Jupiter and Saturn, its long-term dynamics are substantially “tied” to all the major planets. An excellent theoretical study.

On The Origin of The High-Perihelion Scattered Disk: The Role of The Kozai Mechanism And Mean Motion Resonances

Gomes, Rodney S. et al. (2005). Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy

A pioneering work showing the mechanism for activating Lidov–Kozai oscillations upon capture into a mean-motion resonance (in fact, in the TNO region all asteroids in the ZLKR will also be in an MMR).

ES

Survey of Kozai dynamics beyond Neptune

Gallardo, Tabaré et al. (2012). Icarus

Several important conclusions: (1) in the TNO region, 1:N resonances even of high orders can be strong; (2) in fact, captures into MMR + Lidov–Kozai oscillations can explain large deviations or perihelion distances

ES

Following Gomes, Gallardo showed that most likely all asteroids in the ZLKR will also be in MMR, and also showed that even high-order 1:N MMRs (which are strong in the TNO) can be “populated” by asteroids.
