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:

Where did the moon come from
Edward Belbruno,J. Richard Gott +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the giant impactor could have formed in a stable orbit among debris at Earth's L4 (or L5) Lagrange point, and that such a configuration is stable even for a Mars-sized impactor.

The resonant structure of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids - II. What happens for different configurations of the planetary system
TL;DR: In this paper, a general method based on the knowledge of the fundamental frequencies of the planets and on those that can be reached by the Trojans is presented to predict and localize the main events arising in the swarms during migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chaos caused by resonance overlap in the solar neighborhood -- Spiral structure at the Bar's 2:1 outer Lindblad resonance
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified Hamiltonian model was proposed for perturbations of the spiral structure and the Milky Way bar, which is similar to the forced pendulum model of the periodic phase space.

Autonomous Interplanetary Orbit Determination Using Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking
Keric Hill,George H. Born +1 more
TL;DR: Concepts of constellation design that lead to more accurate liaison navigation estimates are described, along with techniques for reducing the fit-span length.

The determination of the structure of Saturn’s F ring by nearby moonlets
Carl D. Murray,K. Beurle,Nicholas J. Cooper,Michael W. Evans,G. A. Williams,Sébastien Charnoz +5 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence of moonlets embedded in the ring’s bright core is reported, and it is shown that most of the F ring‘s morphology results from the continual gravitational and collisional effects of small satellites, often combined with the perturbing effect of Prometheus.
