TLDR
In this paper, the two-body problem and the restricted three body problem are considered. And the disturbing function is extended to include the spin-orbit coupling and the resonance perturbations.Abstract:

Tides on Europa: The membrane paradigm
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the membrane theory of viscoelastic shells with depth-dependent rheology with the dual goal of predicting tidal tectonics and computing tidal dissipation.
THE THEORETICAL PLAUSIBILITY OF CENTRAL PIT CRATER FORMATION VIA MELT DRAINAGE. C. M. Elder
V. J. Bray,H. J. Melosh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the hypothesis that central pits form when impact melt drains into fractures beneath the impact crater, and they find that enough liquid water could drain into fractured ice beneath a crater on Ganymede to form a central pit.

First trans-Neptunian object in polar resonance with Neptune
M. H. M. Morais,Fathi Namouni +1 more
TL;DR: Niku as mentioned in this paper is a nearly polar transneptunian that is in a 7:9 resonance with Neptune, with a mean lifetime in resonance of 16 +-11 million years.

Detection of Low-velocity Collisions in Saturn's F Ring
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the mini-jets are the result of low-velocity collisions with nearby objects, such as S/2004 S 6 and the core of the F ring, resulting in paths relative to the core that are due to a combination of Keplerian shear and epicyclic motion.

Resonant structure in the kuiper disk: an asymmetric plutino disk
TL;DR: In this article, numerical integrations of particles originating from source bodies trapped in the 3 : 2 external mean motion resonance with Neptune were performed to determine what percentage of particles remain in the resonance for a variety of particle and source body sizes.
