Analytical theory of the spin-orbit state of a binary asteroid deflected by a kinetic impactor
Michalis Gaitanas, Christos Efthymiopoulos, Ioannis Gkolias +2
We study the perturbed-from-synchronous librational state of a double asteroid, modeled by the Full Two Rigid Body Problem (F2RBP), with primary emphasis on deriving analytical for…
Secular dynamics and the lifetimes of lunar artificial satellites under natural force-driven orbital evolution
Edoardo Legnaro, Christos Efthymiopoulos
In this paper, we study the long-term (time scale of several years) orbital evolution of lunar satellites under the sole action of natural forces. In particular, we focus on secula…
Bifurcation sequences in the secular 3D planetary 3-Body problem: a geometric approach
Rita Mastroianni, Antonella Marchesiello, Christos Efthymiopoulos +1
We implement the geometric method proposed in ([9], [3], [16]) to analytically predict the sequence of bifurcations leading to a change of stability and/or the appearance of new pe…
