Asteroids in the surroundings of 5:2 resonance

8 real asteroids and their 32 close clones (da = 10-7 AU), orbital elements from the Bowell's astorb.dat, planetary ephemeris DE405.
  • (9631) - the first fall of a clone into the 5:2 after 50 Myr
  • (9990) - stays ABOVE the "chaotic zone"
  • 1988 DX1, 1989 TT3 - initially inside the 5:2 resonance
  • 1988 RY5, 1996 TE - initially in the chaotic zone, median lifetime \approx 101 Myr
  • 1992 DH3 - mean elements below the resonance
  • 1992 RF5 - stays BELOW the chaotic zone and above the 5:2 resonance
