Low-energy capture of asteroids onto KAM tori
Patricia E. Verrier, Colin R. McInnes
We present a new method for engineering the artificial capture of asteroids. Based on theories of the chaos-assisted capture of natural satellites of the giant planets, we show how…
Periodic orbits for 3 and 4 co-orbital bodies
Patricia Verrier, Colin McInnes
We investigate the natural families of periodic orbits associated with the equilibrium configurations of the the planar restricted body problem for the case …
Evolution of the L1 halo family in the radial solar sail CRTBP
Patricia Verrier, Thomas Waters, Jan Sieber
We present a detailed investigation of the dramatic changes that occur in the halo family when radiation pressure is introduced into the Sun-Earth circular restrict…
High Inclination Planets in Multistellar Systems
P. E. Verrier, N. W. Evans
The Kozai mechanism often destabilises high inclination orbits. It couples changes in the eccentricity and inclination, and drives high inclination, circular orbits to low inclinat…
Superintegrability of the Caged Anisotropic Oscillator
N. W. Evans, P. E. Verrier
We study "the Caged Anisotropic Harmonic Oscillator", which is a new example of a superintegrable, or accidentally degenerate Hamiltonian. The potential is that of the harmonic osc…
HD 98800: A most unusual debris disc
P. E. Verrier, N. W. Evans
The dynamics of planetesimals in the circumbinary debris disc of the quadruple star system HD 98800 are investigated. Evolving a spherical shell of test particles from a million ye…
