Galactic tides in the Solar System within a non-axisymmetric Milky Way model adjusted to Gaia data

Alexandre Bougakov, Yassin Rany Khalil, Marc Fouchard +4

Context. Galactic tides are external differential forces acting on extended systems immersed in the Galactic potential. They play a key role in the dynamics of comets in the Oort c…

An efficient integrator for stellar dynamics in effective gravity fields based on the isochrone potential

Alexandre Bougakov, Melaine Saillenfest, Marc Fouchard

Context. Integrating the motion of stars in a smoothed potential is necessary in many stellar and galactic studies. Previous works have often used numerical integrators that altern…

Characterisation of chaos and mean-motion resonances in meteoroid streams -- Application to the Draconids and Leonids

Ariane Courtot, Melaine Saillenfest, Jérémie Vaubaillon +1

Context. Dynamically linking a meteor shower with its parent body is challenging, and chaos in the dynamics of meteoroid streams may be one of the reasons. For a robust identificat…

Characterisation of chaos in meteoroid streams. Application to the Geminids

Ariane Courtot, Jérémie Vaubaillon, Marc Fouchard

Dynamically linking a meteor shower with its parent body can be challenging. This is in part due to the limits of the tools available today (such as D-criteria) but is also due to…

Chaos in the inert Oort cloud

Melaine Saillenfest, Marc Fouchard, Takashi Ito +1

Context: Distant trans-Neptunian objects are subject to planetary perturbations and galactic tides. The former decrease with the distance, while the latter increase. In the interme…

Non-resonant secular dynamics of trans-Neptunian objects perturbed by a distant super-Earth

Melaine Saillenfest, Marc Fouchard, Giacomo Tommei +1

We use a secular model to describe the non-resonant dynamics of trans-Neptunian objects in the presence of an external ten-earth-mass perturber. The secular dynamics is analogous t…
