Continuing investigation of sweeping Jovian resonances - The 7:3 amd 3:2 resonances with further discussion of the 2:1 resonanceThe formation of the solar system from an accretion disk around the protosun can have a significant impact on the celestial mechanics of the early solar system. The solids in the disk settled to the midplane and formed a planetesimal swarm while an early-formed Jupiter was present. The gravity of the disk makes the radial force law become non-Keplerian, causing the commensurability resonances of the early-formed Jupiter to be displaced from where they would otherwise be. An analysis similar to that previously applied to the 2:1, 3:1 and 5:2 resonances is presently undertaken for the 7:3 and 3:2 resonances, and a Kirkwood-like gap is obtained for a sweeping 7:3 resonance. An accumulation of objects is obtained near the 3:2 resonance which, with the ejection of objects on either side of the resonance, would resemble the Hilda group of asteroids. Agreement between the exact commensurability location and the gap center is discussed for the 2:1 resonance.
