 [116.02] Where Are the Asteroids From the Kirkwood Gaps?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Daniel Kirkwood (1888, The Asteroids, Lippincott) proposed that minor planets whose sidereal periods were commensurate with Jupiter's period with ratios 1/2, 1/3, etc., had increasing eccentricity; and at perihelion, collided with the sun in the early history of the solar system.
Jack Wisdom (1985, Icarus 63, 262) studied the motion of hypothetical planar asteroids near the 1/3 commensurability, and concluded that chaotic increases in the eccentricity would make these asteroids approach Mars and collide or be strongly deflected from their original orbits.
