Light pressure-induced secondary orbital resonances in dynamics of near-Earth objects

Abstract

The paper confirms the presence of secondary resonances induced by the light pressure in the dynamics of near-Earth objects moving in the resonance region. Research findings are obtained by numerical simulation and analysis of the dynamics of a large number of objects moving in a series of orbital resonances of different orders. It is shown that secondary resonances accompany orbital resonances, covering them from above and below along the semi-major axis.
