Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper examines the concept of a Sun-pointing elliptical Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth's J(2) oblateness ...

Orbital dynamics of high area-to-mass ratio spacecraft under the influence of J2 and solar radiation pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper investigates the effect of planetary oblateness and solar radiation pressure on the orbit of high area-to-mass spacecraft. A planar Hamiltonian model shows the existence of equilibrium orbits with the orbit apogee pointing towards or away from

Constraining the oblateness of Kepler planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We use Kepler short-cadence light curves to constrain the oblateness of planet candidates in the Kepler sample. The transits of rapidly rotating planets that are deformed in shape will lead to distortions in the ingress and egress of their light curves ...

On solar oblateness measurements during the current solar cycle 24

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceThe rotation of the Sun on itself involves a flatness of the Polar Regions. The solar oblateness results from the rotation of the whole solar interior and the distribution of its mass according to the depth.

On the Effects of Planetary Oblateness on Exoplanet Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
When studying transiting exoplanets it is common to assume a spherical planet shape. However, short rotational periods can cause a planet to bulge at its equator, as is the case with Saturn, whose equatorial radius is almost 10% larger than its polar ...

Comparison of shadow models and their impact on precise orbit determination of BeiDou satellites during eclipsing phases

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2022
Solar radiation pressure (SRP) is an extremely critical perturbative force that affects the GNSS satellites’ precise orbit determination (POD). Its imperfect modelling is one of the main error sources of POD, whose magnitude is even to10−9 m/s2.

Perturbed locations and linear stability of collinear Lagrangian points in the elliptic restricted three body problem with triaxial primaries

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2019
This paper aims to study the effect of the triaxiality and the oblateness as a special case of primaries on the locations and stability of the collinear equilibrium points of the elliptic restricted three body problem (in brief ERTBP).

Orbital dynamics in the Hill problem with oblateness

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the impact of the oblateness of the secondary body on the motion of a test particle in the near vicinity of the secondary body, specifically in the context of the extended version of the planar Hill problem.

Oblate Skyrmions [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1998
The spherically symmetric hedgehog ansatz used in the description of the skyrmion is believed to be inadequate for the rotational states such as the nucleon (I=J=1/2) and the Delta (I=J=3/2) due to centrifugal forces. We study here a simple alternative: an oblate spheroidal solution which leads to lower masses for these baryons.

The collinear equilibrium points in the restricted three body problem with triaxial primaries

open access: yesOpen Physics, 2018
The perturbed restricted three body problem has been reviewed. The mass of the primaries are assumed as triaxial. The locations of the collinear points have been computed. Series forms of these locations are obtained as new analytical results.
