The Origin of the Asteroid Ring
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
From extended statistical investigations of the orbital elements of asteroids and of their dispersions it is found that the relations for some of the dispersions are stable and are regarded to be invariable. By assuming that the orbital elements derived by putting the dispersions equal to zero correspond to those of the mother planet of the asteroid ring, it is found that the mother planet is Mars.
