Mark A. Wieczorek, Alexandre C. M. Correia, Mathieu Le Feuvre +2
The planet Mercury is locked in a spin-orbit resonance where it rotates three times about its spin axis for every two orbits about the Sun. The current explanation for this unique…
Influence of the coorbital resonance on the rotation of the Trojan satellites of Saturn
Philippe Robutel, Nicolas Rambaux, Maryame El Moutamid
The Cassini spacecraft collects high resolution images of the saturnian satellites and reveals the surface of these new worlds. The shape and rotation of the satellites can be dete…
The rotation of Mimas
Benoît Noyelles, Özgür Karatekin, Nicolas Rambaux
The Cassini mission in the Saturnian system is an outstanding opportunity to improve our knowledge of the satellites of Saturn. The data obtained thanks to this mission must be con…
High precision astrometry mission for the detection and characterization of nearby habitable planetary systems with the Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope (NEAT)
Fabien Malbet, Alain Léger, Michael Shao +49
(abridged) A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-m…
Constraining Ceres' interior from its Rotational Motion
Nicolas Rambaux, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Véronique Dehant +1
Context. Ceres is the most massive body of the asteroid belt and contains about 25 wt.% (weight percent) of water. Understanding its thermal evolution and assessing its current sta…
