✦ Synopsis

Proper elements for 987 known near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) have been computed using a generalized averaging principle, valid also for planet-crossing orbits. This allows us to assess the maximum and minimum eccentricities and inclinations resulting from secular perturbations, to determine which planetary orbits can be crossed, and to find the encounter conditions, which can also be used to search for parent bodies of meteor streams. Proper frequencies for these asteroids have also been computed; it is then possible to draw a map of the NEAs affected by the main secular resonances. This paper describes the methods used in this computation, discusses the main qualitative properties of the results, and announces the availability of the proper elements online.

In this paper we test the accuracy of proper elements and proper frequencies computed for near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) by a semianalytic method with the planets on circular and coplanar orbits. These elements are compared with the ones computed by pure numerical integrations in the same reference fra

In this paper we develop a semianalytical model to describe the long-term motion of Trojan asteroids located in tadpole orbits around the L 4 and L 5 jovian Lagrangian points. The dynamical model is based on the spatial elliptic three-body problem, including the main secular variations of Jupiter's
