    On the stability of planetary orbits in binary star systems I. The S-type orbits

    Many exoplanets are discovered in binary star systems in internal or in circumbinary orbits. Whether the planet can be habitable or not depends on the possibility to maintain liquid water on its surface, and t...

    A study of low-energy transfer orbits to the Moon: towards an operational optimization technique

    In the Earth–Moon system, low-energy orbits are transfer trajectories from the Earth to a circumlunar orbit that require less propellant consumption when compared to the traditional types of orbits. In this wo...

    Simulations of Globular Clusters Merging in Galactic Nuclear Regions

    We present the results of detailed N-body simulations regarding the interaction of four massive globular clusters in the central region of a triaxial galaxy. The systems undergo a full merging event, producing...

    Globular Cluster System Evolution in Early Type Galaxies

    Globular clusters (GCs) constitute a system which is evolving because of various interactions with the galactic environment. Evolution may be the explanation of many observed features of Globular Cluster Syste...

    Clumpy Substructures in Globular Cluster Tidal Tails

    In this paper, we present some preliminary results of numerical simulations of a globular cluster orbiting in the inner region of a triaxial galaxy. The formation and evolution of tidal tails around the cluste...

    NLTE H2 Cooling Function and Protogalactic Evolution

    We performed detailed NLTE calculation of the absorption (due to bound-bound transitions among the roto-vibrational levels of the molecule and due to scattering on bound electrons) and emission (due to the rot...

    Turbulence in the Frame of the Evolution of a Self-Gravitating Protocloud

    This paper studies the influence of turbulence generated by the supersonic motion of fragments formed during the collapse of a self-gravitating cloud. We investigate the dependence of the results upon the phys...

    A MultiFluid Hydrodynamical Radiative Model for the Evolution of a Spherical Protogalaxy

    In this paper we present a new radiative, multifluid, hydrodynamical model of protogalactic evolution, using the fragmentation law by Di Fazio (1986). A treatment for radiation transport suitable for non-equi1...
