Scientific paper

Rudmin and Goldstein have developed a computer code which performs celestial mechanics computations using the Parker- Sochacki algorithm [1]. This algorithm, an extension of the Picard Iteration, efficiently generates polynomials (up to degree 20 in this code) for the Cartesian positions and velocities of up to 20 particles orbiting self-consistently under mutual gravitation. The polynomials have been shown to be the Taylor Series for the the exact solution. Depending on the desired precision, the algorithm can conserve energy and angular momentum in a one-year projection to one part in 10 to the 12th. The computer code is being used to search for asteroids which are either bound to planets or are locked in synchronous orbit with them. The algorithm will be explained, and results for particular asteroids will be presented. [1] Neural, parallel & Scientific Computations 4 (1996) 97-112.
