Transport of Mars-crossing asteroids from the quasi-Hilda region.

We employ set oriented methods in combination with graph partitioning algorithms to identify key dynamical regions in the Sun-Jupiter-particle three-body system. Transport rates from a region near the 3:2 Hilda resonance into the realm of orbits crossing Mars' orbit are computed. In contrast to common numerical approaches, our technique does not depend on single long term simulations of the underlying model. Thus, our statistical results are particularly reliable since they are not affected by a dynamical behavior which is almost nonergodic (i.e., dominated by strongly almost invariant sets).

Return time dynamics as a tool for finding almost invariant sets.

The primary goal of transport theory is to compute the rate at which parts of the phase space of a given dynamical system move from one region to another. In this paper we present a new approach for the identification of those regions in phase space that are relevant for transport computations. More concretely, we construct a decomposition into almost invariant sets-that is, those sets that represent the main sources and sinks for transport phenomena-using return time dynamics. We illustrate this technique by partitioning a certain Poincaré section in the planar circular restricted three body problem into various sets.
