Survey of secular resonances in the asteroid belt by Knežević Z.

“…Using a recently introduced synthetic method to compute the asteroid secular frequencies (Knežević and Milani 2019), in this paper we survey the locations of secular resonances in the 9 dynamically distinct zones of the asteroid belt. Positions of all resonances up to order four, of a significant fraction of the order six resonances, and of a several order eight ones were determined, plotted in the space of proper elements, and discussed in relation to the local dynamics and to the structure and shape of the nearby asteroid collisional families. …”

The Formation of Jupiter, the Jovian Early Bombardment and the Delivery of Water to the Asteroid Belt: The Case of (4) Vesta by Diego Turrini, Vladimir Svetsov

“…The formation of Jupiter and probably its migration occurred in the period when eucrites crystallized, and triggered a phase of bombardment that caused icy planetesimals to cross the asteroid belt. In this work, we study the flux of icy planetesimals on Vesta during the Jovian Early Bombardment and, using hydrodynamic simulations, the outcome of their collisions with the asteroid. …”
