Chaotic Behaviour of Trajectories for the Asteroidal Resonances

Qualitative and Quantitative Behaviour of Planetary Systems

Abstract

A systematic study of the main asteroidal resonances of the third and fourth order is performed using mapping techniques. For each resonance one-parameter family of surfaces of section is presented together with a simple energy graph which helps to understand and predict the changes in the surfaces of section within the family. As the truncated Hamiltonian for the planar, elliptic, restricted three-body problem is used for the mapping, the method is expected to fail for high eccentricities. We compared, therefore, the surfaces of section with trajectories calculated by symplectic integrators of the fourth and six order employing the full Hamiltonian. We found a good agreement for small eccentricities but differences for the higher eccentricities (e ~ 0.3).
