Perturbation Effect of Outer Planet on the Orbits of Minor Planets at Different Orbital Elements
Keywords:
Minor planet, Keplerian orbit, Perturbations, Orbital elementsAbstract
The distribution of a small asteroid 2023 DW minor planet with different eccentricity to the ecliptic plane and with respect to the Jupiter orbit is studied. The variation in orbital elements must be analyzed to effectively study the changes in eccentricity, semi-major axis (SMA), and inclination for the minor planet. The magnitude and direction of these changes depend on the specific conditions, such as the proximity of other bodies and the physical properties of the minor planet. Over time, these forces can significantly alter the orbit, sometimes in predictable ways and sometimes in chaotic or unpredictable patterns.
