AbstractResults of numerical simulations show that the orbits of asteroids in the inner part of the main belt may gradually, subject to a chaotic process acting on 10-100 Myr time scales, become more elliptic and start intersecting the orbit of Mars. The subsequent evolution of an asteroid having close encounters with Mars frequently leads to the Earth-crossing orbit. This revolutionary scenario of the origin of near-Earth asteroids was quantified by Miglioriniet al.(1998) and here we discuss some of the aspects of this work.

The Kirkwood gaps in the main asteroidal belt (2 – 3.5 AU) coincide with the mean motion resonances with Jupiter (4/1, 3/1, 5/2, 7/3, 2/1). Similarly, several narrower gaps are observed in the outer asteroid belt (3.5 – 4 AU) at places of 11/6, 9/5, 7/4 and 5/3 Jovian resonances (Holman and Murray 1996). As it is now generally accepted, the formation and preservation of these gaps is due to the chaos of the resonant space and efficient ejection of the primordial and collisionaly injected bodies towards high eccentricities and planet-crossing orbits.The Jovian mean motion resonances are not the most important in what concerns the chaos of the observed (i.e. remaining) asteroid population. It was estimated by Šidlichovský and Nesvorný (1998) that about 40% of known objects have the Lyapunov time less than 105 years. It was later found (Nesvorný and Morbidelli 1998, 1999; Morbidelli and Nesvorný 1999) that the resonances responsible for this chaos are, in decreasing order of importance: 1) three-body resonances with Jupiter and Saturn, 2) exterior resonances with Mars, 3) moderate order Jovian resonances, and 4) three-body resonances with Mars and Jupiter.

This paper is a short review of the dynamics of the asteroidal resonances as currently determined from maps and simulations over 106 – 107 years. The main recent results concern the extensive exploration of the phase space to determine domains of initial conditions leading to close approaches to the inner planets, the topological dynamics of the planar Sun-Jupiter-asteroid problem at very high eccentricities and the differences amongst 2/1 and 3/2 resonances able to explain the existence of a gap in the asteroidal belt at the 2/1 resonance and of a group of asteroids in the 3/2 resonance. Current results point to a confirmation of Wisdom's theory for the formation of the gaps by gravitational evolution and scattering by the inner planets.

AbstractThe orbital instability and forming of outer part of Asteroidal belt has been studied earlier in the Circular case. Here the same problem is studied in elliptic case.

Abstract Properties of cometary dust particles are better known since the space missions to Comet Halley. Their properties (densities, atomic composition) are compared with relevant observations from lunar microcraters and in-situ experiments. At 1 AU in the eliptic, 2/3 of the dust grains are normal density particles, presumably of asteroidal origin and irregularly shaped, while the remaining 1/3 are low density particles, presumably of cometary origin, but due to solar irradiation in a processed state (corresponding to “Brownlee”-particles). Beyond the asteroidal belt only black cometary dust grains are observed which have recently been released from comet nuclei orbiting on highly eccentric trajectories.
