Scientific paper

The present experiment with test particles placed in orbits at uniform intervals between 5.7 and 8.8 AU, with randomly distributed eccentricities between 0.0 and 0.02 and inclinations between 0.0 and 0.063 rad, leads to the perception that no stable niches exist in the Jupiter-Saturn zone other than the Lagrangian points of Jupiter. These points are populated by at least 26 Trojan asteroids. The primary implication of these results for future investigations of the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune zone is that experimental design should be as selective as the dynamics of the planetary system have been shown to be.
