Abstract
In the regions of mean diurnal motions between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, predicted earlier by the authors, five asteroids have been discovered that move in 1:2 and 2:3 Lindblad orbital resonances with Jupiter (“external orbital commensurability”) and in 2:1 resonance with Saturn (“internal version of commensurability”). In addition to this, in the precalculated stable resonance zones between the giant planets Saturn and Uranus, three objects have been found that possess third-order (2:5) orbital commensurability with Saturn; nine objects have been discovered between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, whose mean motions are in 1:3 and 1:4 orbital resonances with Saturn, and more than 200 libration-stable objects, linked by lower-order orbital resonances with Neptune and Uranus have been found in the Kuiper belt.
