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:

Measurement of Spin-orbit Misalignment and Nodal Precession for the Planet around Pre-main-sequence Star PTFO 8-8695 from Gravity Darkening
TL;DR: In this article, Van Eyken et al. developed a theoretical framework for understanding precession of a planetary orbit's ascending node for the case when the stellar rotational angular momentum and the planetary orbital angular momentum are comparable in magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
The librations, shape, and icy shell of Europa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of libration (rotation variation) observations to study the interior structure of Europa and in particular its icy shell, and showed that the presence of an ocean increases the amplitude of the libration by about 10%, depending mainly on the thickness of the icy shell.
Giant Planet Formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the core accretion model and the disk instability model are discussed and the successes and limitations of each model in explaining observational data of giant planets orbiting the Sun and other stars.

The populations of comet-like bodies in the Solar system
TL;DR: In this article, a new classification scheme is introduced for comet-like bodies in the Solar system, which covers the traditional comets as well as the Centaurs and Edgeworth-Kuiper belt objects.

Jupiter – friend or foe? I: the asteroids
Jonti Horner,Barrie W. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the degree to which the impact risk resulting from a population representative of the asteroids is enhanced or reduced by the presence of a giant planet, in an attempt to understand fully the impact regime under which life on Earth developed.
