TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a mapping that approximates the restricted circulat three-body problem (Sun, planet, test particle) when the eccentricity ofr test particle is small and its semimajor axis is close to that of the planet, |a − ap|/ap ⪡ 1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the perturbed streamlines near the Encke boundary is derived for a simple numerical model whose parameters are chosen to resemble those of the Enckel division and its associated satellite.

TL;DR: In this article, Stiavelli M. et Bertin G. (1985, Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc., 217) examine en detail and compare avec la loi R 0.25 de Vaucouleurs.
Abstract: Etude des proprietes de modeles spheriques auto-gravitants derives de 2 fonctions de distribution qui incorporent la physique de la relaxation violente. Les modeles de Stiavelli M. et Bertin G. (1985, Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc., 217) sont examines en detail et compares avec la loi R 0.25 de Vaucouleurs. Une famille de modeles generes a partir d'une fonction de distribution possedant une dependance differente du moment cinetique est egalement examinee. Dans les 2 cas consideres, les solutions avec des temperatures positives et des temperatures negatives sont etudiees

TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations were used to examine how dating errors degrade a periodic signal and conclude that even if a periodicity were present, it would not normally be detected at a statistically significant level by the tests used in the literature.
