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 ...
Secular dynamics and family identification among highly inclined asteroids in the Euphrosyne region
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-02-01)
Among highly inclined asteroids the external region of the main belt beyond the 5J:2A mean-motion resonance with Jupiter has long been known to host the Euphrosyne and Alauda families. The region is confined in semimajor ...
Possible effects of secular resonances in Phobos and Triton
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-01-01)
Due to the tides, the orbits of Phobos and Triton are contracting. While their semi major axes are decreasing, several possibilities of secular resonances involving node, argument of the pericenter and mean motion of the ...
An analysis of the region of the Phocaea dynamical family
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-09-21)
In this work, I conduct a preliminary analysis of the Phocaea family region. I obtain families and clumps in the space of proper elements and proper frequencies, study the taxonomy of the asteroids for which this information ...
On the first nu(6) anti-aligned librating asteroid family of Tina
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-04-01)
Asteroid families are groups of bodies identified in the space of proper elements or of frequencies that share a common origin in the collisional break-up of their progenitors. Their dynamical evolution is shaped by the ...
Influence of the resonance in a gravity-gradient stabilized satellite
(1989-09-01)
Using Hamiltonian formalism the translational-rotational motion of a satellite is studied near a resonance considering the orbital and rotational motions. A first order perturbation theory is derived by Hori's transformation ...
On the V-type asteroids outside the Vesta family - II. Is (21238) 1995 WV7 a fragment of the long-lost basaltic crust of (15) Eunomia?
(Edp Sciences S A, 2007-10-01)
Context. The V-type asteroids are associated with basaltic composition. Apart from ( 1459) Magnya, an asteroid that is clearly dynamically and mineralogically unconnected to the Vesta family, all currently known V-type ...
The stable archipelago in the region of the Pallas and Hansa dynamical families
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-10-11)
Among highly inclined asteroids, the region of the central main belt between the 3J:-1A and 5J:-2A mean-motion resonances has long been known to host the Pallas and Hansa dynamical families. This region is characterized ...
Instability zones for satellites of asteroids: The example of the (87) Sylvia system
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2012-07-01)
The stability of the (87) Sylvia system and of the neighborhood of its two satellites is investigated. We use numerical integrations considering the non-sphericity of Sylvia, as well as the mutual perturbation of the ...
