Old perturbative methods for a new problem in Celestial Mechanics: the space debris dynamics [PDF]
Perturbative methods have been developed and widely used in the XVIII and XIX century to study the behavior of N -body problems in Celestial Mechanics. Such methods apply to nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems and they have the remarkable property to ...

Celestial Mechanics, Conformal Structures, and Gravitational Waves [PDF]
The equations of motion for $N$ non-relativistic particles attracting according to Newton's law are shown to correspond to the equations for null geodesics in a $(3N+2)$-dimensional Lorentzian, Ricci-flat, spacetime with a covariantly constant null ...

The Spin–Spin Problem in Celestial Mechanics [PDF]
We study the dynamics of two homogeneous rigid ellipsoids subject to their mutual gravitational influence. We assume that the spin axis of each ellipsoid coincides with its shortest physical axis and is perpendicular to the orbital plane.

The mass of (1) Ceres obtained from four close encounters [PDF]
The technique of asteroid mass determination from perturbation during close approach requires as many as possible different close approaches in order to derive reliable mass of a perturber.
