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:

Global dynamics of planetary systems with the MEGNO criterion
Krzysztof Goździewski,Krzysztof Goździewski,Eric Bois,Andrzej J. Maciejewski,L. Kiseleva-Eggleton,L. Kiseleva-Eggleton +5 more
TL;DR: The Mean Exponential Growth of Nearby Orbits (MEGNO) criterion as discussed by the authors was proposed by Cincotta et al. to study the dynamical behavior of the multidimensional planetary systems in the framework of the gravitational N-body problem.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the occupation of the 1 : 1 (Trojan), 4 : 3, 3 : 2, 7 : 4, 2 : 1, and 5 : 2 Neptunian mean motion resonances (MMRs).

Atlas of the mean motion resonances in the Solar System
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic survey of the strength of the mean motion resonances in the solar system and propose a numerical method for the calculation of this strength and present an atlas of the MMRs constructed with this method.

Enceladus: An Active Ice World in the Saturn System
John R. Spencer,Francis Nimmo +1 more
TL;DR: Enceladus, one of the mid-sized icy moons of Saturn, has an importance to planetary science far greater than its modest 504-km diameter would suggest as discussed by the authors, which reveals that it is the only known icy world in the solar system with ongoing deep-seated geological activity.

The effects of topographically-controlled thermal tides in the martian upper atmosphere as seen by the MGS accelerometer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple application of classical tidal theory to identify the dominant tidal modes and obtain results consistent with those of General Circulation Models and hence complements them.
