Initial conditions for tidal synchronisation of a planet by its moon
Valeri V. Makarov, Michael Efroimsky
Moons tidally interact with their host planets and stars. A close moon is quickly synchronised by the planet, or becomes captured in a higher spin-orbit resonance. However, the pla…
Dynamics of Two Planets near a 2:1 Resonance: Case Studies of Known and Synthetic Exosystems on a Grid of Initial Configurations
Valeri Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Dimitri Veras
The distribution of period ratios for 580 known two-planet systems is apparently nonuniform, with several sharp peaks and troughs. In particular, the vicinity of the 2:1 commensura…
Chaotic Capture of a Retrograde Moon by Venus and the Reversal of Its Spin
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin
(Abridged) Planets are surrounded by fractal surfaces (traditionally called Hill spheres), separating the inner zones of long-term stable orbital motion of their satellites from th…
Secular Orbital Dynamics of the Possibly Habitable Planet K2-18 b with and without the Proposed Inner Companion
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin
The transiting planet K2-18 b is one of the best candidates for a relatively nearby world harboring biological life. The long-term orbital evolution of this planet is investigated…
