Some aspects of the chaotic diffusion of Trojans
A recently developed mapping model for the 1:1 resonance has
been used to investigate the long term dynamics of Jupiter's
Trojans. By using frequency analysis of orbits obtained by the
mapping model we found a chaotic region in the case when the
eccentricity of Jupiter is constant. However, the chaotic orbits
emerging from this region are locked into the 1:1 resonance for
more than 100 million years. We gave evidence that by taking into
account the indirect planetary perturbations these chaotic orbits
may escape.
