Mutual potential between two rigid bodies with arbitrary shapes and mass distributions

X Hou, DJ Scheeres, X Xin - Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical …, 2017 - Springer
Formulae to compute the mutual potential, force, and torque between two rigid bodies are
given. These formulae are expressed in Cartesian coordinates using inertia integrals. They …

Modified double-averaged Hamiltonian in hierarchical triple systems

H Lei, C Circi, E Ortore - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
In this work, we introduce a modified double-averaging approach by considering the short-
term effects and formulate a more accurate double-averaged Hamiltonian (in comparison to …

Higher-order effects in the dynamics of hierarchical triple systems: Quadrupole-squared terms

CM Will - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We analyze the secular evolution of hierarchical triple systems to second order in the
quadrupolar perturbation induced on the inner binary by the distant third body. The …

Orbital flips in hierarchical triple systems: Relativistic effects and third-body effects to hexadecapole order

CM Will - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We analyze the secular evolution of hierarchical triple systems in the post-Newtonian
approximation to general relativity. We expand the Newtonian three-body equations of …

Lifetime maps for orbits around Callisto using a double-averaged model

J Cardoso dos Santos, JPS Carvalho… - Astrophysics and Space …, 2017 - Springer
The present paper studies the lifetime of orbits around a moon that is in orbit around its
mother planet. In the context of the inner restricted three-body problem, the dynamical model …

Analytic computation of the secular effects of encounters on a binary: third-order perturbation, octupole, and post-Newtonian terms; steady-state distribution

AS Hamers, J Samsing - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Dense stellar systems such as globular clusters are believed to harbour merging binary
black holes (BHs). The evolution of such binaries is driven by interactions with other stars …

Searching for Less-Disturbed Orbital Regions Around the Near-Earth Asteroid 2001

DM Sanchez, AFBA Prado - Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2019 - arc.aiaa.org
The Aster mission is the first proposed Brazilian deep space mission. The target is the triple
near-Earth asteroid (153591) 2001 SN 263. This work searches for less-disturbed orbital …

Semi-analytical orbital model around an oblate body with an inclined eccentric perturber

T Fu, Y Wang, W Hu - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 - frontiersin.org
The semi-analytical model (based on the averaging technique) for long-term orbital
evolution has proven to be useful in both astrophysical and astrodynamical contexts. In this …

Secular resonance of inner test particles in hierarchical planetary systems

H Lei - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 - academic.oup.com
This work studies the secular resonance associated with the critical argument σ= ϖ (ϖ is the
longitude of pericentre) for inner test particles moving in low-eccentricity region with …

Analysis on nonlinear dynamics of two first-order resonances in a three-body system

Y Zhou, W Zhang - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2022 - Springer
This paper focuses on the analysis on the nonlinear dynamics of two first-order 2: 3 external
and 3: 2 internal mean motion resonances (MMRs) for three-body formed by two massive …
