The Distribution of Perihelia of Minor Planets


M. Kuzmanovski




One considers: the distribution of angles made by the projection of perihelical vectors on the mean plane with the intersection of that plane and the distribution of perihelical distances. The simultaneons consideration of these distributions gave the picture of the spatial distribution of perihelical points of asteroids. It is shown that perihelical points are distributed inside a belt and some of its characeterstics are pointed out.
