The problem of the origin of asteroids residing in the Jovian first-order mean motion resonances is still open. Is the observed population survivors of a much larger population formed in the resonance in primordial times? Here, we study the evolution of 182 long-lived asteroids in the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance, identified in Brož & Vokrouhlické (2008). We numerically integrate their trajectories in two different dynamical models of the solar system: (a) accounting for the gravitational effects of the four giant planets (i.e. 4-pl) and (b) adding the terrestrial planets from Venus to Mars (i.e. 7-pl). We also include an approximate treatment of the Yarkovksy effect (as in Tsiganis et al.2003), assuming appropriate values for the asteroid diameters.
