We study long-term orbital evolution of resonant families among Hildas (located in the 3/2 resonance with Jupiter) and Trojans (in J1/1). The systematic drift in eccentricity, due to the Yarkovsky effect, enables us to determine their ages. We present a novel `(e,H) method', which exploits not only the overall spread in eccentricity, but also the distribution of family members in the plane eccentricity vs absolute magnitude.
We further describe a strong destabilisation of Hildas during the 1:2 Jupiter-Saturn resonance crossing (as described by the Nice model) and we estimate a re-population efficiency of the J2/1 and J3/2 regions from the adjacent main belt and planetesimal disk with respect to various migration rates.
This research is supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (grants 205/08/0064 and 205/08/P196) and the Research Program MSM0021620860 of the Czech Ministry of Education.
