Three planets are detected around ν Andromedae. The stability of Upsilon Andromedae Planetary system is maintained by the co rotation of the pericenters of the two outer planets. If the pericenters of the two outer planets move independently, the planetary system becomes unstable. The corotation of the pericenters is explained by the secular perturbation theory. This corotation is not a secular resonance.


By an orthodox application of the perturbation theory to the general case of a quantized field, it is shown th at the divergence difficulty hitherto encountered arises from a faulty application of the expansion method. The difficulty, in certain cases, disappears if the degeneracy of the unperturbed system is properly treated by the method of secular perturbation. Physically, this amounts to a rigorous treatm ent of the radiation reaction, in such cases where its effect is strong.

Generalizing the secular perturbation theory of Milani and Knežević (1990), we have determined in the a — e — I proper elements space the locations of the secular resonances between the precession rates of the longitudes of perihelion and node of a small body and the corresponding eigenfrequencies of the secular perturbations of the four outer planets. We discuss some implications of the results for the dynamical evolution of small solar system bodies. In particular, our findings include: (i) the fact that the g = g6 resonance in the inner asteroid belt lies closer than previously assumed to the Flora region, providing a plausible dynamical route to inject asteroid fragments into planet-crossing orbits; (ii) the possible presence of some low-inclination “stable islands” between the orbits of the outer planets; (iii) the fact that none of the secular resonances considered in this work exists for semimajor axes > 50 AU, so that these resonances do not provide a mechanism for transporting inwards possible Kuiper–belt comets.

The ages of asteroid families are estimated by using a second order secular perturbation theory. Their ages are rather young. To explain these results we have some possible interpretations. The first interpretation is that in the theory of secular perturbation we do not include the effects of mutual perturbations of asteroids. The second is that we can regard these values as the minimum ages.
