Integral-field spectroscopy of (90482) Orcus-Vanth

B. Carry, D. Hestroffer, F. DeMeo +8

Aims. We seek to constrain the surface composition of the Trans-Neptunian Object (90482) Orcus and its small satellite Vanth, as well as their mass and density. Methods. We acquire…

Fractal Weyl law behavior in an open, chaotic Hamiltonian system

Jordan A. Ramilowski, S. D. Prado, F. Borondo +1

We numerically show fractal Weyl law behavior in an open Hamiltonian system that is described by a smooth potential and which supports numerous above-barrier resonances. This behav…

Production of trans-Neptunian binaries through chaos-assisted capture

Ernestine A. Lee, Sergey A. Astakhov, David Farrelly

The recent discovery of binary objects in the Kuiper-belt opens an invaluable window into past and present conditions in the trans-Neptunian part of the Solar System. For example,…

Formation of Kuiper-belt binaries through multiple chaotic scattering encounters with low-mass intruders

Sergey A. Astakhov, Ernestine A. Lee, David Farrelly

The discovery that many trans-neptunian objects exist in pairs, or binaries, is proving invaluable for shedding light on the formation, evolution and structure of the outer Solar s…

Nondispersive two-electron Trojan wave packets

Matt Kalinski, Loren Hansen, David Farrelly

We demonstrate the existence of stable non-dispersing two-electron Trojan-like wave packets in the helium atom in combined magnetic and circularly polarized microwave fields. These…

Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem

Sergey A. Astakhov, David Farrelly

Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the plan…
