Open AccessOn 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...

Formation and Disruption of Open Clusters
The fifth edition of the Lynga ‘Catalogue of open cluster data’(1987) is used to obtain a complete sample of galactic open clusters, which represents a suitable data base to deduce information on the system of...

The determination of a complete sample of open clusters to compare with star clusters in other galaxies
In order to compare star cluster systems in galaxies, and consequently to obtain information on their different modalities of birth and evolution, a homogeneous and complete sample of galactic open clusters is...

Evolutionary population synthesis: From galaxies to open clusters
Some aspects of the methodology of stellar population synthesis are presented and discussed, together with some results concerning photometric evolution of stellar systems formed in a single burst of star form...

Photometric Models for Globular Clusters from Population Synthesis
Integral fluxes (Bolometric and U, B, V) are computed in a completely theoretical frame in order to investigate the structural properties and stellar content of coeval stellar systems of various ages and metal...

Theoretical and Observational Evidence for the Existence of a Single Fragmentation Law, and Galactic Evolution.
Mass functions for various objects are elaborated from observational data. Their shapes are compared among themselves quantitatively. A striking similarity suggest the hypothesis that all the different kinds o...
