Stability limits for the quasi-satellite orbit
Open accessAbstract
An asteroid moving around the Sun having approximately the same mean motion and mean longitude as a planet, but a different eccentricity, circles the planet like a retrograde satellite even when the distance is large enough so that it is not a bound satellite. If the orbits are coplanar, then the motion is stable in the secular approximation. When the orbits are inclined enough, an asteroid can be trapped into such a quasi-satellite (QS) motion for a finite period of time. The conditions under which this can occur are discussed, improved criteria for the recognition of this type of motion are developed, and numerical examples from real QS objects are provided.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
