Analytical theory of the spin-orbit state of a binary asteroid deflected by a kinetic impactor
We study the perturbed-from-synchronous librational state of a double asteroid, modeled by the Full Two Rigid Body Problem (F2RBP), with primary...

Geophysical Characterization of the Interiors of Ganymede, Callisto and Europa by ESA’s JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of ESA was launched on 14 April 2023 and will arrive at Jupiter and its moons in July 2031. In this review...

Dynamics around the Earth–Moon triangular points in the Hill restricted 4-body problem
This paper investigates the motion of a small particle moving near the triangular points of the Earth–Moon system. The dynamics are modeled in the...

Positive mass of \(k+l\)-Moulton configuration
For given k bodies of collinear central configuration of Newtonian k -body problem, we ask whether one can add other l bodies at the same time on the...

Secular evolution of co-orbital motion of two exoplanets: semi-analytical investigation
We consider a system consisting of a star and two planets in co-orbital motion. The masses of the planets are much smaller than the mass of the star....
