Fig. 1

Snapshots of the orbital evolution (in the rotational frame with Chariklo) of a set of test particles under the effects of C₂₀ and C₂₂, the gravitational coefficients of Chariklo (black circle). The blue circle shows the location of the corotation radius, while the green and red circles show the semi-major axes of the 1:2 and 1:3 resonances, respectively.
