Scientific paper

The chaotic regions of the phase space in the vicinity of the 2:1 and 3:2 jovian resonances are identified by using a mapping technique derived from a second-order expansion of the disturbing function for the planar elliptical restricted three-body problem. It is shown that both resonances have extensive chaotic regions which in some cases can lead to large changes in the eccentricity of asteroid orbits. Although the 3:2 resonance is shown to be more chaotic than the 2:1 resonance, the existence of the Hilda group of asteroids and the Hecuba gap may be explained by distinct differences in the location of the high-eccentricity regions at each resonance. The problem of the convergence of the expansion of the disturbing function in the outer asteroid belt is also discussed.
