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:

Tidal truncation of inclined circumstellar and circumbinary discs in young stellar binaries
Ryan Miranda,Dong Lai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the tidal truncation of misaligned disks due to torques applied to the disc at the Lindblad resonances from the tidal forcings of the binary.

Explaining why the uranian satellites have equatorial prograde orbits despite the large planetary obliquity
TL;DR: The existence of prograde equatorial satellites is consistent with a collisional tilting scenario for Uranus as discussed by the authors, and the fact that the orbits of the satellites are prograde requires Uranus to have had a non-negligible initial obliquity (comparable to that of Neptune) before it was finally tilted to 98°.

Milankovitch Period Uncertainties and Their Impact On Cyclostratigraphy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the uncertainties in ancient Milankovitch cycle periods and show that these uncertainties lead to problems with using these cycles for accurate measurement of durations (potential errors are around 25% by the start of the Phanerozoic).

Dynamical classification of trans-neptunian objects: Probing their origin, evolution, and interrelation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed computer simulations of currently observed objects using long-arc orbits and several thousands of clones, and identified 622 TNOs, and 65 non-resonant objects whose orbits penetrate that of at least one of the giant planets within 1 Myr (the centaurs).

Planet-planet scattering in the upsilon Andromedae system
TL;DR: It is reported that the current orbital configuration of the three giant planets around upsilon Andromedae (υ And) probably results from a close dynamical interaction with another planet, now lost from the system, and shown that υ And c periodically returns to a very nearly circular state every 6,700 years.
