Abstract:
In this thesis, we have reviewed some of the theories which describe distribution of astriods in the solar system. The secular mechanism has been considered to the lowest order of inclination and eccentricity. In addition, the Kozai mechanism, which influences small bodies on highly inclined orbits, has been investigated. With some simulations, we have shown that distribution of astroids is mainly a dynamical phenomenon. Our simulations in the case of Hila group astroids, gave similar results like the astronomical data. Finally we investigated distribution of Neptune's Trojans, and realized that theories which are useful in analyzing distribution of astroids, can be of great help in analyzing astronomical data and simulation results, in the case of Neptune's Trojans
