After the discovery of more than 400 planets beyond our Solar System, the characterization of exoplanets as well as their host stars can be considered as one of the fastest growing fields in space science duri...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the General Sitnikov Problem two primaries of equal masses (m 1 = m 2) move on perturbed Keplerian orbits because of the presence of a third non-zero mass confined to the axis (z-axis) ...

We present the results of a numerical study on encounter frequencies of fictitious Halley-like comets with the planets in a dynamical model of the solar system, in which we take into account the gravitational ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
We present numerical results of the so-called Sitnikov-problem, a special case of the three-dimensional elliptic restricted three-body problem. Here the two primaries have equal masses and the third body moves...
