Determination of commensurabilities in the dynamics of the Pluto-Charon's satellites
Baptiste Desoubrie, Alain Vienne
The Pluto-Charon system is a binary system, characterised by its high mass ratio and its tidally locked synchronous orbit. Surrounding the central binary, four satellites - Styx, N…
Strong tidal energy dissipation in Saturn at Titan's frequency as an explanation for Iapetus orbit
William Polycarpe, Melaine Saillenfest, Valéry Lainey +3
Natural satellite systems present a large variety of orbital configurations in the solar system. While some are clearly the result of known processes, others still have largely une…
On the co-orbital motion in the planar restricted three-body problem: the quasi-satellite motion revisited
Alexandre Pousse, Philippe Robutel, Alain Vienne
In the framework of the planar and circular restricted three-body problem, we consider an asteroid that orbits the Sun in quasi-satellite motion with a planet. A quasi-satellite tr…
Origin of the chaotic motion of the Saturnian satellite Atlas
S. Renner, N. J. Cooper, M. El Moutamid +4
We revisit the dynamics of Atlas. Using Cassini ISS astrometric observations spanning February 2004 to August 2013, Cooper et al. (2015) found evidence that Atlas is currently pert…
The family of Quasi-satellite periodic orbits in the circular co-planar RTBP
Alexandre Pousse, Philippe Robutel, Alain Vienne
In the circular case of the coplanar Restricted Three-body Problem, we studied how the family of quasi-satellite (QS) periodic orbits allows to define an associated libration cente…
