Abstract: | It is shown that close encounters between Jupiter and minor bodies are generally more efficient if the initial orbit of the small body is nearly tangent to that of the planet. Starting from the analysis of the results of previous numerical simulations, some indications on the mobility of the small bodies in the semiaxis-eccentricity diagram are given.Paper presented at the European Workshop on Planetary Sciences, organised by the Laboratory di Astrofisica Spaziale di Frascati, and held between April 23–27, 1979, at the Accademia Nazionale del Lincei in Rome, Italy. |
