چکیده
The 3:1 mean-motion resonance of the planar elliptic restricted three body problem (Sun-Jupiter-asteroid) is considered. The double numeric averaging is used to obtain the evolutionary equations which describe the long-term behavior of the asteroid's argument of pericentre and eccentricity. The existence of the adiabatic chaos area in the system's phase space is shown. The 3:1 mean-motion resonance in the planar elliptic restricted three-body problem (Sun–Jupiter–asteroid) has long attracted considerable attention of specialists [1–16]. In order to find secular effects, the equations of motion can be averaged over fast variables, namely, over mean longitudes of the asteroid and Jupiter (see, for example, [3, 12]). Upon averaging, a nonintegrable system appears which describe the " fast " and " slow " components of secular evolution. The " fast " evolution consists in changing resonance phase (Delaunay variable) D = λ − 3λ ′ , where λ and λ ′ are the mean longitudes of the asteroid and Jupiter, respectively. The " slow " evolution reveals itself in a gradual change of perihelion longitudes of resonance asteroid orbits. In [4–6,8,11] a model Hamiltonian system was considered with Hamiltonian H p which was a principal part of the Hamiltonian of a planar elliptic three-body problem averaged over λ and λ ′ taking the resonance into account. Such a truncation of the Hamiltonian is justified at small orbit eccentricities of the asteroid and Jupiter. Processes described by this model system are also separated into " fast " and " slow " processes. In order to analyze different variants of the " slow " evolution, one can make yet another averaging: averaging over fast processes [6,17]. In this paper double averaging is used for studying the " slow " evolution without restrictions on the orbit eccentricity of an asteroid. The results of this study allow one to understand, under which initial conditions the system with Hamiltonian H p correctly describes secular effects at the resonance under discussion. 1 2. Averaging over mean longitudes We assume that the semimajor axis of the orbit of Jupiter can be taken as the unit length, while the sum of masses of the Sun and Jupiter is the unit mass. The unit time is chosen so that the period of revolution of Jupiter around the Sun is equal to 2π. We write the equations of motion of the asteroid in the variables where x, y, and L are the elements of …

Yarkovsky origin of the unstable asteroids in the 2/1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter
The 2/1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter, intersecting the main asteroid belt at ≈3.27 au, contains a small population of objects. Numerical investigations have classified three groups within this population: asteroids residing on stable orbits (i.e. Zhongguos), those on marginally stable orbits with dynamical lifetimes of the order of 100 Myr (i.e. Griquas), and those on unstable orbits. In ...
متن کاملThree-body Mean Motion Resonances and the Chaotic Structure of the Asteroid Belt
We discuss the existence and the properties of a new type of mean motion resonance populated by a large number of asteroids, the resonant angle being deÐned as a linear combination (with integer coefficients) of the mean longitudes of asteroid, Jupiter, and Saturn. We call these resonances the threebody mean motion resonances. In the present paper, we show that the anomalous large oscillation o...
متن کاملDynamics of Jupiter Trojans during the 2:1 mean motion resonance crossing of Jupiter and Saturn
In the early phase of the Solar System evolution, while the outer planets migrated due to their interaction with a planetesimal disk, Jupiter may have crossed the 2:1 mean motion resonance with Saturn. It is well known (Morbidelli et al. 2005) that this dynamical event has profound consequences on the evolution of an alleged initial Trojan population of Jupiter. In this paper, we analyse in det...
متن کاملLarge Scattered Planetesimals and the Excitation of the Small Body Belts
We study the dynamical excitation that large planetesimals, scattered either by Neptune or Jupiter, could have provided to the primordial Edgeworth–Kuiper belt and the asteroid belt. Using both a refined Monte Carlo approach and direct numerical integration, we show that the Monte Carlo method is useful only to give qualitative insight into the resulting excitation, but cannot be trusted from a...
متن کاملDepletion of the Outer Asteroid Belt
During the early history of the solar system, it is likely that the outer planets changed their distance from the sun, and hence, their influence on the asteroid belt evolved with time. The gravitational influence of Jupiter and Saturn on the orbital evolution of asteroids in the outer asteroid belt was calculated. The results show that the sweeping of mean motion resonances associated with pla...
