  Many asteroids in the main belt are continuously pushed by Yarkovsky effect
into regions of different mean motion resonances (MMRs) and then ejected out.
They are considered as the principal source of near-Earth objects. We
investigate in this paper the effects of the 7/3 MMR with Jupiter (J7/3 MMR) on
the transportation of asteroids from Koronis and Eos families that reside
respectively on the inner and outer side of the resonance. The fraction of
asteroids that make successful crossing through the resonance and the escaping
rate from the resonance are found to depend on the Yarkovsky drifting rate, the
initial inclination and the migrating direction. The excitation of eccentricity
and inclination due to the combined influence from both the resonance and
Yarkovsky effect is discussed. Only the eccentricity can be pumped up
considerably, and it is attributed mainly to the resonance. In the
observational data, family members are also found in the resonance and on the
opposite side of the resonance with respect to the corresponding family centre.
The existence of these family members is explained using our results of
numerical simulations. Finally, the replenishment of asteroids in the J7/3 MMR
and the transportation of asteroids by it are discussed.
