The Qualitative Explanation of Observed Peculiarities of Hecuba and Hilda Asteroids Distribution by a Common Investigation

Abstract

Let us consider the planar case of the circular restricted three-body problem. The mass of central body is unit, the radius of the circular orbit of perturbing point P′ (of mass μ = 1/1047.39 according to Jupiter's mass) is also unit and the other unit is such that the gravitational constant is equal to 1. The Keplerian elements of the perturbed mass point P (asteroid), with semi-major axis α < 1, are given by usual notations; the elements of P‘ are indicated with a prime (’).
