Surface composition and dynamical evolution of two retrograde objects in the outer solar system: 2008 YB3 and 2005 VD
N. Pinilla-Alonso, A. Alvarez-Candal, M. D. Melita +8
Most of the objects in the trans-Neptunian belt (TNb) and related populations move in prograde orbits with low eccentricity and inclination. However, the list of icy minor bodies m…

Resonantly-forced Eccentric Ringlets: Relationships between Surface Density, Resonance location, Eccentricity and Eccentricity-gradient
M. D. Melita, J. C. B. Papaloizou
We use a simple model of the dynamics of a narrow-eccentric ring, to put some constraints on some of the observable properties of the real systems.In this work we concentrate on th…

Structuring eccentric-narrow planetary rings
J. C. B. Papaloizou, M. D. Melita
(Abridged) A simple and general description of the dynamics of a narrow eccentric ring is presented.We view an eccentric ring which precesses uniformly at a slow rate as exhibiting…
