Can the Gravitational Effect of Planet X be Detected in Current-era Tracking of the Known Major and Minor Planets? [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Using Fisher information matrices, we forecast the uncertainties σ M on the measurement of a “Planet X” at heliocentric distance d X via its tidal gravitational field’s action on the known planets.

Enrichment of the HR 8799 planets by minor bodies and dust [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Are minor bodies and dust delivering volatile and/or refractory materials in exoplanetary systems? Around ~20% of the nearest stars are found to host analogues of the main asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt.

Calibration of the angular momenta of the minor planets in the solar system [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Aims. We aim to determine the relative angle between the total angular momentum of the minor planets and that of the Sun-planets system, and to improve the orientation of the invariable plane of the solar system. Methods. By utilizing physical parameters

Computation of asteroid proper elements: Recent advances [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2017 The recent advances in computation of asteroid proper elements are briefly reviewed. Although not representing real breakthroughs in computation and stability assessment of proper elements, these advances can still be considered as important improvements

Computation of asteroid proper elements on the Grid [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2009 A procedure of gridification of the computation of asteroid proper orbital elements is described. The need to speed up the time consuming computations and make them more efficient is justified by the large increase of observational data expected from the
