Energetic Feasibility of Redirecting Trans-Neptunian Objects onto Mars-Impacting Orbits: Continuous Thrust and Gravity Assist Trajectories
Ryszard Gabryszewski, Leszek Czechowski, Arkadiusz Hess
We assess the dynamical feasibility of redirecting small volatile-bearing trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) onto Mars-impacting orbits using continuous low-thrust propulsion and a sin…

Numerical analysis of Lyapunov Times for Trans-Neptunian Objects and Main-Belt Asteroids: stability, accuracy, and methodological comparisons
PaweÅ Wajer, MaÅgorzata Królikowska, Jakub Suchecki
We computed Lyapunov times () for a sample of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and outer main-belt asteroids (MBAs) using three numerical approaches: the variational method and…
