The IAU 2000 Resolutions for Astrometry, Celestial Mechanics, and Metrology in the Relativistic Framework: Explanatory Supplement [PDF]
This paper discusses the IAU Resolutions B1.3, B1.4, B1.5 and B1.9 (2000) that were adopted during the 24th General Assembly in Manchester, 2000 and provides details and explanations for these Resolutions. It is explained why they present significant progress over the corresponding IAU 1991 Resolutions and why they are necessary in the light of present

Minimum Energy Configurations in the $N$-Body Problem and the Celestial Mechanics of Granular Systems [PDF]
Minimum energy configurations in celestial mechanics are investigated. It is shown that this is not a well defined problem for point-mass celestial mechanics but well-posed for finite density distributions. This naturally leads to a granular mechanics extension of usual celestial mechanics questions such as relative equilibria and stability. This paper

Perturbation theory and canonical coordinates in celestial mechanics [PDF]
KAM theory owes most of its success to its initial motivation: the application to problems of celestial mechanics. The masterly application was offered by V.I.Arnold in the 60s who worked out a theorem, that he named the Fundamental Theorem (FT), especially designed for the planetary problem.

Some Problems on the Classical N-Body Problem [PDF]
Our idea is to imitate Smale's list of problems, in a restricted domain of mathematical aspects of Celestial Mechanics. All the problems are on the n-body problem, some with different homogeneity of the potential, addressing many aspects such as central configurations, stability of relative equilibrium, singularities, integral manifolds, etc. Following

Interaction between celestial and terrestrial reference frames and some considerations for the next VLBI-based ICRF [PDF]
In this paper we outline several problems related to the realization of the international celestial and terrestrial reference frames ICRF and ITRF at the millimeter level of accuracy, with emphasis on ICRF issues. The main topics considered are: analysis of the current status of the ICRF, mutual impact of ICRF and ITRF, and some considerations for ...

Well Posed Origin Anywhere Consistent Systems in Celestial Mechanics [PDF]
Certain measurements in celestial mechanics necessitate having the origin O of a Cartesian coordinate system (CCS) coincide with a point mass. For the two and three body problems we show mathematical inadequacies in Newton's celestial mechanics equations (NCME) when the origin of a coordinate system coincides with a point mass.

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.

Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

Universal symbolic expression for radial distance of conic motion [PDF]
In the present paper, a universal symbolic expression for radial distance of conic motion in recursive power series form is developed. The importance of this analytical power series representation is that it is invariant under many operations ...

Parameter and q asymptotics of Lq‐norms of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials
The weighted Lq‐norms of orthogonal polynomials are determined when q and the polynomial's parameter tend to infinity. They are given in this work by the leading term of the q and parameter asymptotics of the corresponding quantities of the associated probability density. These results are not only interesting per se, but also because they control many
