The ring system and small satellites of Neptune were discovered during Voyager 2 flyby in 1989 (Smith et al. in Science 246:1422, 1989). In this work we analyse the diffusion maps which can give an overview of the system. ...

In this work, we focus our attention to the expansion of the disturbing function (R) which governs the dynamics of a satellite (natural or artificial) in the Neptune-Triton system. What makes this problem quite unusual, ...

Here, we report the results of a set of numerical simulations of the system formed by Neptune, Galatea, dust ring particles, and hypothetical co-orbital satellites. This dynamical system depicts a recent confinement mechanism ...

Context. Current models of the formation of ice giants attempt to account for the formation of Uranus and Neptune within the protoplanetary disk lifetime. Many of these models calculate the formation of Uranus and Neptune ...

Stochastic impacts by large bodies are, at present, the usually accepted mechanisms able to account for the obliquity of the ice giants. We attempt to set constraints on giant impacts as the cause of Neptune's current ...

We present numerical simulations of the evolution of a synthetic population of Binary Neptune Trojans, under the influence of the solar perturbations and tidal friction (the so-called Kozai cycles and tidal friction ...
