Particles Co-orbital to Janus and to Epimetheus: A Firefly Planetary Ring
(2018-01-01)
The Cassini spacecraft found a new and unique ring that shares the trajectory of Janus and Epimetheus, co-orbital satellites of Saturn. Performing image analysis, we found this to be a continuous ring. Its width is between ...
The role of Mab as a source for the mu ring of Uranus (Research Note)
(Edp Sciences S A, 2012-07-01)
Context. We previously analysed how the solar radiation force combined with the planetary oblateness changes the orbital evolution of a sample of dust particles located at the secondary ring system of Uranus. Both effects ...
On the location of the ring around the dwarf planet Haumea
(2019-04-11)
The recently discovered ring around the dwarf planet (136108) Haumea is located near the 1:3 resonance between the orbital motion of the ring particles and the spin of Haumea. In the current work, we study the dynamics of ...
Cratering and age of the small Saturnian satellites
(EDP Sciences, 2019-04-25)
Context. The small (=135 km mean radius) satellites of Saturn are closely related to its rings and together they constitute a complex dynamical system where formation and destruction mechanisms compete against each other. ...

Giant planet formation at the pressure maxima of protoplanetary disks
(EDP Sciences, 2017-04)
Context. In the classical core-accretion planet-formation scenario, rapid inward migration and accretion timescales of kilometer sizeplanetesimals may not favor the formation of massive cores of giant planets before the ...
APOPHIS - effects of the 2029 Earth's encounter on the surface and nearby dynamics (vol 510, pg 95, 2022)

Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planet instability: a step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017-06-01)
V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated with a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, which is located in the inner part of the ...
