Lambert's theorem and projective dynamics

Alain Albouy, Lei Zhao

We prove that the classical Lambert theorem about the elapsed time on an arc of Keplerian orbit extends without change to the Kepler problem on a space of constant curvature. We pr…

The trans-Neptunian object (84922) 2003 VS2 through stellar occultations

Gustavo Benedetti-Rossi, P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz +50

We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the Plutino object (84922) 2003~V…

Chaos in the inert Oort cloud

Melaine Saillenfest, Marc Fouchard, Takashi Ito +1

Context: Distant trans-Neptunian objects are subject to planetary perturbations and galactic tides. The former decrease with the distance, while the latter increase. In the interme…

Trace estimation of a family of periodic Sturm-Liouville operators with application to Robe's restricted three-body problem

Qinglong Zhou

In this paper, we consider a family of Sturm-Liouville operators on the -periodic domain. The bifurcation with respect to the parameter region is studied, and the elliptic regio…

Nearly Polar orbit of the sub-Neptune HD3167 c: Constraints on a multi-planet system dynamical history

Shweta Dalal, Guillaume Hébrard, Alain Lecavelier des Étangs +5

We present the obliquity measurement, that is, the angle between the normal angle of the orbital plane and the stellar spin axis, of the sub-Neptune planet HD3167 c, which transits…

Small Solar System Bodies as granular media

D. Hestroffer, P. Sánchez, L. Staron +12

Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and oth…

Bias and robustness of eccentricity estimates from radial velocity data

N. C. Hara, G. Boué, J. Laskar +2

Eccentricity is a parameter of particular interest as it is an informative indicator of the past of planetary systems. It is however not always clear whether the eccentricity fitte…

High order regularised symplectic integrator for collisional planetary systems

Antoine C. Petit, Jacques Laskar, Gwenaël Boué +1

We present a new mixed variable symplectic (MVS) integrator for planetary systems, that fully resolve close encounters. The method is based on a time regularisation that allows kee…

First stellar occultation by the Galilean moon Europa and upcoming events between 2019 and 2021

B. Morgado, G. Benedetti-Rossi, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +21

Context. Bright stellar positions are now known with an uncertainty below 1 mas thanks to Gaia DR2. Between 2019-2020, the Galactic plane will be the background of Jupiter. The den…

A new non-convex model of the binary asteroid (809) Lundia obtained with the SAGE modelling technique

P. Bartczak, A. Kryszczyńska, G. Dudziński +12

We present a new non-convex model of the binary asteroid (809) Lundia. A SAGE (Shaping Asteroids with Genetic Evolution) method using disc-integrated photometry only was used for d…
