Chaotic asteroidal trajectories exhibiting multiple bursts of eccentricity: A statistical analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
For chaotic asteroidal trajectories exhibiting multiple bursts of eccentricity in the 3/1 Jovian resonance, we derive the distribution function of time intervals between such bursts. At the onset, the resulting distribution decays exponentially. In the tail, an algebraic decay is observed, with the power-law index for the integral distribution in the range −2 to −1.
