Tertiary Tides with Eccentric Orbits
Yan Gao, Tjarda Boekholt, Devismita Panda +2
Within hierarchical triple stellar systems, there exists a tidal process unique to them, known as tertiary tides. In this process, the tidal deformation of a tertiary in a hierarch…
The paradox of infinitesimal granularity: Chaos and the reversibility of time in Newton's theory of gravity
Simon Portegies Zwart, Tjarda Boekholt
The fundamental laws of physics are time-symmetric, but our macroscopic experience contradicts this. The time reversibility paradox is partly a consequence of the unpredictability…
Radio astronomy and Space science in Azores: enhancing the Atlantic VLBI infrastructure cluster
Domingos Barbosa, Bruno Coelho, Sonia Antón +10
Radio astronomy and Space Infrastructures in the Azores have a great scientific and industrial interest because they benefit from a unique geographical location in the middle of th…
Gargantuan chaotic gravitational three-body systems and their irreversibility to the Planck length
Tjarda Boekholt, Simon Portegies Zwart, Mauri Valtonen
Chaos is present in most stellar dynamical systems and manifests itself through the exponential growth of small perturbations. Exponential divergence drives time irreversibility an…
Newton vs the machine: solving the chaotic three-body problem using deep neural networks
Philip G. Breen, Christopher N. Foley, Tjarda Boekholt +1
Since its formulation by Sir Isaac Newton, the problem of solving the equations of motion for three bodies under their own gravitational force has remained practically unsolved. Cu…
Towards completing Planetary Systems: The role of minor bodies on life growth and survival
Jorge Lillo-Box, David Kipping, Isabel Rebollido +8
The search for extrasolar planets in the past decades has shown that planets abound in the Solar neighborhood. While we are still missing an Earth twin, the forthcoming space missi…
