地球的马蹄形共轨道:当前的人口和新的候选者

Horseshoe Co-orbitals of Earth: Current Population and New Candidates

Murat Kaplan, Sergen Cengiz

摘要:

太阳系中的大多数共轨物体被认为遵循蝌蚪型轨道,表现得像特洛伊人。然而,地球上大多数已确定的共轨道都沿着马蹄形轨道运动。目前被认为是地球共轨道的小天体共有18个,其中12个是马蹄铁,5个是准卫星,1个是特洛伊。所有这些天体的半长轴值在$0.983$ au和$1.017$ au之间摆动。在这项工作中,我们已经研究了物体的动力学行为的轨道与半长轴在这个范围内,可能是在1:1的平均运动与地球共振。我们的研究结果表明,小行星2016 CO $_{246}$、2017 SL $_{16}$和2017 XQ $_{60}$沿着不对称的马蹄型轨道运动;小行星2018 PN $_{22}$遵循近对称或规则的马蹄型轨道。小行星2016 CO $_{246}$、2017 SL $_{16}$和2017 XQ $_{60}$可以分别保持在马蹄形共轨状态大约$900$年、$3300$年和$2700$年。小行星2018 PN $_{22}$具有更混乱的动力学行为;它可能不会停留在马蹄形共轨状态超过200年。2016 CO $_{246}$、2017 SL $_{16}$、2017 XQ $_{60}$和2018 PN $_{22}$的马蹄形天平动周期分别为280、255、411和125年。

英文摘要:

Most co-orbital objects in the Solar system are thought to follow tadpole-type orbits, behaving as Trojans. However, most of Earth's identified co-orbitals are moving along horseshoe-type orbits. The current tally of minor bodies considered to be Earth co-orbitals amounts to 18; of them, 12 are horseshoes, five are quasi-satellites, and one is a Trojan. The semimajor axis values of all these bodies librate between $0.983$ au and $1.017$ au. In this work, we have studied the dynamical behaviour of objects following orbits with semimajor axis within this range that may be in a 1:1 mean-motion resonance with Earth. Our results show that asteroids 2016 CO$_{246}$, 2017 SL$_{16}$, and 2017 XQ$_{60}$ are moving along asymmetrical horseshoe-type orbits; the asteroid 2018 PN$_{22}$ follows a nearly symmetric or regular horseshoe-type orbit. Asteroids 2016 CO$_{246}$, 2017 SL$_{16}$, and 2017 XQ$_{60}$ can remain in the horseshoe co-orbital state for about $900$ yr, $3300$ yr and $2700$ yr, respectively. Asteroid 2018 PN$_{22}$ has a more chaotic dynamical behaviour; it may not stay in a horseshoe co-orbital state for more than 200 yr. The horseshoe libration periods of 2016 CO$_{246}$, 2017 SL$_{16}$, 2017 XQ$_{60}$, and 2018 PN$_{22}$ are 280, 255, 411, and 125 yr, respectively.
