The disturbing function for asteroids with arbitrary inclinations
Fathi Namouni, Maria Helena Moreira Morais
The classical disturbing function of the three-body problem widely used in planetary dynamics studies is an expansion of the gravitational interaction of the three-body problem wit…
First transneptunian object in polar resonance with Neptune
M. H. M. Morais, F. Namouni
Capture in mean motion resonance has been observed in the Solar System for small objects with prograde as well as retrograde orbits of moderate inclinations. However, no example of…
The disturbing function for polar Centaurs and transneptunian objects
Fathi Namouni, Maria Helena Moreira Morais
The classical disturbing function of the three-body problem is based on an expansion of the gravitational interaction in the vicinity of nearly coplanar orbits. Consequently, it is…
Resonance capture at arbitrary inclination: II. Effect of the radial drift rate
Fathi Namouni, Maria Helena Moreira Morais
The effect of radial drift rate on mean motion resonance capture is studied for prograde, polar and retrograde orbits. We employ the numerical framework of our earlier exploration…
