Minor Planets: Resonances, Minor Planets: Saturn

Scientific paper

Numerical N-body integrations show that there may exist stable 1-1 resonance orbits of minor planets for each of the outer planets from Jupiter to Neptune. Such orbits show no sign of instability, for at least a million years. For Saturn the existence of such orbits is surprising because of the periodic proximity of Jupiter. The authors discuss the results of their numerical study, and consider the possibilities of observational confirmation of their conclusions. There is preliminary evidence for similar stability for the Trojan analogues of the inner planets.
