Analytical direct planetary perturbations on the orbital motion of satellites
(2013-01-01)
An analytical expansion of the disturbing function arising from direct planetary perturbations on the motion of satellites is derived. As a Fourier series, it allows the investigation of the secular effects of these direct ...

FROZEN ORBITS AROUND EUROPA
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2012-10-01)
Low-altitude, near-polar orbits are very desirable for scientific missions to study the natural satellites of the planets of the Solar System, such as Europa, that is one of the natural satellites of Jupiter. The problem ...
Search for less disturbed regions for spacecrafts in planetary systems
(2016-01-01)
The design of scientific orbits for applications in space missions require a deep understanding about how the perturbations acting in the spacecraft will affect its dynamics. For such missions, the information about the ...

Interpretation of Strong Short-Term Central Perturbations in the Light Curves of Moderate-Magnification Microlensing Events
(2009)
To improve the planet detection efficiency, current planetary microlensing experiments are focused on high-magnification events searching for planetary signals near the peak of lensing light curves. However, it is known ...
Analysis of the orbital evolution of exoplanets
(2016-10-01)
An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet that does not orbit the Sun, but is around a different star, stellar remnant, or brown dwarf. Up to now, about 1900 exoplanets were discovered. To better understand the ...
Sustaining ecosystem services: Overcoming the dilemma posed by local actions and planetary boundaries
(Amer Geophysical Union, 2014-08-01)
Resolving challenges related to the sustainability of natural capital and ecosystem services is an urgent issue. No roadmap on reaching sustainability exists; and the kind of sustainable land use required in a world that ...
