Öpik's theory of close encounters allows us to deduce an analytic expression for the distribution of energy perturbations at close encounters between small bodies and planets. The derivation of this expression highlights a simple geometric structure in the plane containing the planet and perpendicular to the unperturbed planetocentric velocity vector. The analytic formulation reproduces well the results of the numerical integrations that first pointed out the asymmetries in the distribution of energy perturbations.
