Abstract

We examine a 2-DOF Hamiltonian system modeling some previously unexplored dynamical effects in first-order mean motion resonances in the spatial circular restricted three-body problem “star-planet-asteroid.” In distinction from the well-known integrable model of Sessin and Ferraz-Mello (Celest Mech Dyn Astron 32:307–332, 1984) and Wisdom (Celest Mech Dyn Astron 38:175–180, 1986), in our analysis, we kept more terms in the expansion for the disturbing function. This allowed us to study the phenomena caused by coexisting resonant modes, that were lost in the integrable model. In addition, we identified the areas of dynamical chaos in the phase space of the considered system. Despite the non-integrability of our model, we were able to compute analytically many quantities characterizing its dynamical behavior. Finally, we illustrate some of our results through the examples of the known resonant Kuiper belt objects.
