Five examples of dynamical excitation of asteroids in simulations where Jupiter and Saturn have chaotic orbits (simulation JSCHA) caused by different resonances. Asteroids in (a) and (b) are initially near 2 au. Asteroids in (c), (d), and (e) reside in the outer part of the main belt, between 2.65 and 3 au.
