Question

Jack Wisdom's 1982 doctoral thesis hypothesized that a pattern in the distribution of these objects was caused by Arnol'd diffusion. A Russian-Polish railroad engineer pioneered work on a thermal force exerted on these objects that was added to models in CNEOS's Sentry-II software. OSIRIS-REx measured (20[1])aspects of (20[1])the Yarkovsky effect on one (20[1])of these objects, (20[3]0[1])which comprise the Hilda group. MMRs of (20[1])(*) 3-to-1 and 5-to-2 (10[1])correspond, respectively, to the semi-major axes 2.5 and 2.82 AU of the largest Kirkwood gaps in the distribution (0[1])of these (10[1])objects, (0[1])which are exemplified by the dwarf planet Ceres. For 10 points, name these astronomical objects that appear between Mars and Jupiter in a (10[1])namesake "belt." (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
