Inclination of Miranda as a Constraint on the Tidal Dissipation of Uranus
Maryame El Moutamid, Matija Ćuk
The five major moons of Uranus record a complicated geological history characterized by both tectonic resurfacing and heavy impact cratering, connecting their evolution to dynamica…
Some challenges for the long-term survival of Naiad, Neptune's innermost moon
Harrison Agrusa, Matija Ćuk, David Nesvorný +1
The Naiad-Thalassa 73:69 mean-motion resonance implies these moons have co-existed for 1 Gyr, raising the question of how they survived to the present day. We examine thre…
Are Thalassa and Despina in Resonance Lock with Neptune's Oscillations?
Matija Ćuk, Harrison F. Agrusa, Marina Brozović +1
The two innermost moons of Neptune, Naiad and Thalassa, are currently in a 73:69 mean-motion resonance. This resonance relies on the large inclination of Naiad, and we estimate tha…
Origin of Hyperion and Saturn's Rings in A Two-Stage Saturnian System Instability
Matija Ćuk, Maryame El Moutamid, Jim Fuller +1
The age of the rings and some of the moons of Saturn is an open question, and multiple lines of evidence point to a recent (few hundred Myr ago) cataclysm involving disruption of p…
The Sesquinary Catastrophe on Deimos can reconcile its excited past with its dynamically cool present
Kaustub P. Anand, Matija Ćuk, David A. Minton
The origins of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos are highly debated, and hypotheses include formation from an impact-generated circum-Martian disk or from capture of asteroids. W…
On The Applicability of Ring-Moon Cycles to Exoplanets
Isabella E. Ward, Matija Ćuk
The presence of rings and moons around exoplanets is likely to be one of the next great discoveries in exoplanet research. Using theories developed for the Solar System, we explore…
Two Possible Orbital Histories of Phobos
Matija Ćuk, Kaustub P. Anand, David A. Minton
The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, have orbits that are close to martian equator, indicating their formation from a circumplanetary disk. Phobos is currently migrating towar…
New asteroid clusters and evidence of collisional fragmentation in the L5 Trojan cloud of Mars
Apostolos A. Christou, Nikos Georgakarakos, Matija Cuk +3
Context. Trojan asteroids of Mars date from an early phase of solar system evolution. Based on a sample of <10 asteroids, MT distribution has been previously shown to be both asymm…
BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART
Matija Ćuk, Harrison Agrusa, Rachel H. Cueva +10
The Near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of a planetary defense demonstration mission DART in September 2022. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by…
