The current orbit of Methone (S/2004 S 1)
Nelson Callegari, Adrián Rodríguez, Demétrio Tadeu Ceccatto
The Cassini spacecraft discovered many close-in small satellites in Saturnian system, and several of them exhibit exotic orbital states due to interactions with Mimas and the oblat…
Dynamical stability in the vicinity of Saturnian small moons. The cases of Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene
Adrián Rodríguez, Nelson Callegari
In this work we analyze the orbital evolution and the dynamical stability in the vicinity of the small Saturnian moons Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene. We numerically resolve t…
On the equilibrium figure of close-in planets and satellites
Alexandre C. M. Correia, Adrian Rodriguez
Many exoplanets have been observed close to their parent stars with orbital periods of a few days. As for the major satellites of the Jovian planets, the figure of these planets is…
Tidal friction in close-in satellites and exoplanets. The Darwin theory re-visited
Sylvio Ferraz-Mello, Adrián Rodríguez, Hauke Hussmann
This report is a review of Darwin's classical theory of bodily tides in which we present the analytical expressions for the orbital and rotational evolution of the bodies and for t…
