Apse-alignment in narrow-eccentric ringlets and its implications for the EPSILON-ring of Uranus and the ring system of (10199) Chariklo
M. D. Melita, J. C. B. Papaloizou
The discovery of ring systems around objects of the outer Solar System provides a strong motivation to apply theoretical models in order to better estimate their physical and orbit…
The dynamical evolution of close-in binary systems formed by a super-Earth and its host star. Case of the Kepler-21 system
Santiago Luna, Hugo Navone, Mario Melita
The aim of this work is to develop a formalism for the study of the secular evolution of a binary system which includes interaction due to the tides that each body imparts on the o…
An alternative stable solution for the Kepler-419 system, obtained with the use of a genetic algorithm
D. D. Carpintero, M. D. Melita
The mid-transit times of an exoplanet may be non-periodic. The variations in the timing of the transits with respect to a single period, that is, the transit timing variations (TTV…
Multicolor Photometry of the Neptune Irregular Satellite Neso
Michele Maris, Giovanni Carraro, Mario Melita +1
We report on time series photometry of the faint Neptune irregular satellite Neso. Observations in the V, R, and I pass-bands were performed in photometric conditions at the Cerro…
The Spin-Orbit Evolution of GJ 667C System: The Effect of Composition and Other Planet's Perturbations
P. Cuartas-Restrepo, M. Melita, J. Zuluaga +3
Potentially habitable planets within the habitable zone of M-dwarfs are affected by tidal interaction. We studied the tidal evolution in GJ 667C using a numerical code we call TIDE…
TTVs analysis in Southern Stars: the case of WASP-28
Romina Petrucci, Emiliano Jofré, Mario Melita +2
We present 4 new transit observations of the exoplanet WASP-28b observed between August 2011 and October 2013. Employing another 11 transits available in the literature we compute…
