The mass of the asteroid belt

Transactions of IAA RAS, issue 26, 110–115 (2012)

Keywords: asteroid belt, asteroid mass, absolute magnitude, taxonomical class

Abstract

The mass of the main asteroid belt is estimated as 13.5e-10 M_Sun. Hidden mass does not exceed two percent of this value. It is shown that almost all asteroids with absolute magnitude H < 14 have been found up to the distance 3.8 AU from the Sun. Estimations of the masses of different zones in the asteroid belt, including the Trojans, are obtained. Perturbations, produced by the asteroid belt, excluding large asteroids, are described as the attraction of an inclined to the ecliptic plane gravitating ellipse with uniformly distributed mass

Hidden mass does not exceed two percent of this value. It is shown
that almost all asteroids with absolute magnitude H < 14 have been
found up to the distance 3.8 AU from the Sun. Estimations of the
masses of different zones in the asteroid belt, including the
Trojans, are obtained. Perturbations, produced by the asteroid belt,
excluding large asteroids, are described as the attraction of an
inclined to the ecliptic plane gravitating ellipse with uniformly
distributed mass
