Abstract

The solar system has a complex structure that includes large bodies and many small bodies moving in a common gravitational field. Our simultaneous integration for the construction of modern ephemerides includes equations of motion of the Sun, the planets, the Moon, large asteroids, and trans-neptunian objects (TNOs). However it is necessary also to take into account perturbations of smaller bodies in order to obtain high-precision ephemerides. The influence of these bodies is modeled by perturbations from two two-dimensional rings lying in the plane of the ecliptic: the annulus of the Main belt of asteroids having radii R1 = 2.08 au and R2 = 3.27 au determined by the orbital resonances with Jupiter 4:1 and 2:1, and the annulus of the Kuiper belt having radii 39.4 au and 47.8 au according to orbital resonances with Neptune 3:2 and 2:1. The masses of both annuli are determined from the analysis of the motion of the planets by radio ranging data of spacecraft for different planets. The influence of the TNOs on the motion of the planets has been estimated. It is shown that the perturbation of the Kuiper belt exceeds the gravitational influence of the 9-th hypothetical remote (further 550 au) planet; that must be taken into account searching for the 9th planet. The position of the barycenter of the Solar system has been checked and its drift is below 30 microns/century.

AB  - The solar system has a complex structure that includes large bodies
and many small bodies moving in a common gravitational field. Our
simultaneous integration for the construction of modern ephemerides
includes equations of motion of the Sun, the planets, the Moon, large
asteroids, and trans-neptunian objects (TNOs). However it is
necessary also to take into account perturbations of smaller bodies
in order to obtain high-precision ephemerides. The influence of these
bodies is modeled by perturbations from two two-dimensional rings
lying in the plane of the ecliptic: the annulus of the Main belt of
asteroids having radii R1 = 2.08 au and R2 = 3.27 au determined by
the orbital resonances with Jupiter 4:1 and 2:1, and the annulus of
the Kuiper belt having radii 39.4 au and 47.8 au according to orbital
resonances with Neptune 3:2 and 2:1. The masses of both annuli are
determined from the analysis of the motion of the planets by radio
ranging data of spacecraft for different planets.   The influence of
the TNOs on the motion of the planets has been estimated. It is shown
that the perturbation of the Kuiper belt exceeds the gravitational
influence of the 9-th hypothetical remote (further 550 au) planet;
that must be taken into account searching for the 9th planet. The
position of the barycenter of the Solar system has been checked and
its drift is below 30 microns/century.
