Phase space plots of 3:1 resonance orbit

Post by ChaosKnight »

The setup consist of our Sun, Jupiter and 1 asteroid.

The phase space trajectories are plots of differences in displacements between the asteroid and Jupiter (x-y axis, white) and acceleration felt by the asteroid (z-axis, red) over a 200-yr period.

When plotting relative vectors in phase space, it is common to get a torus.
