Resonance?
[edit]The claim that Cybele asteroids are in a 7:4 resonance (or any resonance) with Jupiter is not true. I don't know why this was changed in 2018 without explanation. The claim has since made it into all the lists of numbered minor planets (random example), and without doubt into many articles about individual asteroids (example). It was also stated (without source) in Kirkwood gaps until moments ago, and is falsely stated in Hecuba-gap asteroid. List of minor-planet groups says so, too, giving this reference; there is nothing about the 7:4 resonance in that book. The user who has added it in 2018 is no longer active.

I am notifying Exoplanetaryscience, with whom I discussed the issue before posting here, and Tom.Reding as the last human to have edited the article (16 November 2023). Given the enormous number of pages that are affected by the error (mainly the numerous lists), I will also ask for help on WP:AST. Renerpho (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
