Two co-orbital objects of similar masses exchange semi-major axes and swap directions.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: An exchange orbit occurs when two co-orbital objects are of similar masses and thus exert a non-negligible influence on each other. The objects can exchange semi-major axes or eccentricities when they approach each other. Eg.: Saturnian moons Janus and Epimetheus swap orbits, ultimately oscillating both about their mass-weighted mean orbit. |
