Dynamic Resonance Effects in the Statistical Distributions of Asteroids and Comets

Abstract

Some principles in the distribution of Centaurs and the "Scattered Disk" objects, as well as the Kuiper belt objects for its semi-major axes, eccentricities and inclinations of the orbits have been investigated. It has been established, that more than a half from them move on the resonant orbits and that is what has been predicted earlier. The divergence of the maximum in the observable distribution of the objects of the Kuiper belt for the semi-major axes with an exact orbital resonance has been interpreted.
