Neptune's 5:2 Resonance in the Kuiper Belt
Renu Malhotra, Lei Lan, Kathryn Volk +1
Observations of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in Neptune's 5:2 resonance present two puzzles: this third order resonance hosts a surprisingly large population, comparable to the promi…
Bifurcation of equilibrium points in the potential field of asteroid 101955 Bennu
Xianyu Wang, Junfeng Li, Shengping Gong
The stability and topological structure of equilibrium points in the potential field of the asteroid 101955 Bennu have been investigated with a variable density and rotation period…
A method for classifying orbits near asteroids
Xianyu Wang, Shengping Gong, Junfeng Li
A method for classifying orbits near asteroids under a polyhedral gravitational field is presented, and may serve as a valuable reference for spacecraft orbit design for asteroid e…
Mean motion resonances at high eccentricities: the 2:1 and the 3:2 interior resonances
Xianyu Wang, Renu Malhotra
Mean motion resonances [MMRs] play an important role in the formation and evolution of planetary systems and have significantly influenced the orbital properties and distribution o…
Eccentricity distribution in the main asteroid belt
Renu Malhotra, Xianyu Wang
The observationally complete sample of the main belt asteroids now spans more than two orders of magnitude in size and numbers more than 64,000 (excluding collisional family member…
Analysis of the Potential Field and Equilibrium Points of Irregular-shaped Minor Celestial Bodies
Xianyu Wang, Yu Jiang, Shengping Gong
The equilibrium points of the gravitational potential field of minor celestial bodies, including asteroids, comets, and irregular satellites of planets, are studied. In order to un…
Stability and Motion around Equilibrium Points in the Rotating Plane-Symmetric Potential Field
Yu Jiang, Hexi Baoyin, Xianyu Wang +1
This study presents a study of equilibrium points, periodic orbits, stabilities, and manifolds in a rotating plane symmetric potential field. It has been found that the dynamical b…
Order and Chaos near Equilibrium Points in the Potential of Rotating Highly Irregular-shaped Celestial Bodies
Yu Jiang, Hexi Baoyin, Xianyu Wang +4
The order and chaos of the motion near equilibrium points in the potential of a rotating highly irregular-shaped celestial body are investigated from point of view of the dynamical…
