Abstract
Abstract. The population of near-Earth objects (NEOs) currently counts more than 30 000 known members. In general, NEOs have chaotic orbits, short lifetimes, and often an unidentified dynamical background. In this work, we discuss the discrepancy in the literature about the dynamical connection between the main belt asteroid 2 Pallas and the Apollo asteroid 3200 Phaethon, the parent body of the Geminides. We repeat the results on the Pallas-Phaethon link, using a still-developing Python platform running in REBOUND, and illustrate its sensitivity to some parameters of the numerical integration.
