A new perspective on the irregular satellites of Saturn - II Dynamical and physical origin
D. Turrini, F. Marzari, F. Tosi
The origin of the irregular satellites of the giant planets has been long debated since their discovery. Their dynamical features argue against an in-situ formation suggesting they…
A new perspective on the irregular satellites of Saturn - I Dynamical and collisional history
D. Turrini, F. Marzari, H. Beust
The dynamical features of the irregular satellites of the giant planets argue against an in-situ formation and are strongly suggestive of a capture origin. Since the last detailed…
A preliminary XML-based search system for planetary data
Francesco Carraro, Sergio Fonte, Diego Turrini +2
Planetary sciences can benefit from several different sources of information, i.e. ground-based or near Earth-based observations, space missions and laboratory experiments. The dat…
Planetary formation in the Gamma-Cephei system
Philippe Thebault, Francesco Marzari, Hans Scholl +2
We numerically investigate under which conditions the planet detected at 2.1 AU of Gamma-Cephei could form through the core-accretion scenario despite the perturbing presence of th…
