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:

The determination of planetary structure in tidally relaxed inclined systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize their analysis of the fixed point phenomenon to mutually inclined systems in which the outer body dominates the total angular momentum, and show that this fixed point of coplanar systems is replaced by a limit cycle in e b -η space, where e b is the eccentricity of the inner planet and is the angle between the periapse lines.

Discovery of an asteroid and quasi-satellite in an Earth-like horseshoe orbit
TL;DR: The newly discovered asteroid 2002 AA29 moves in a very Earth-like orbit that relative to Earth has a unique horseshoe shape and allows transitions to a quasi-satellite state.

Free and forced obliquities of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter
Bruce G. Bills,Bruce G. Bills +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the free and forced obliquities of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter were estimated using a simple secular variation model for the orbits, and spin pole precession rate estimates based on gravity field parameters derived from Galileo spacecraft encounters.

Effects of Secular Interactions in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
Fred C. Adams,Gregory Laughlin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of dynamical interactions among the planets in observed extrasolar planetary systems, including hypothetical additional bodies, with a focus on secular perturbations are studied.

Magnetic Origins of the Stellar Mass-Obliquity Correlation in Planetary Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the dependence of magnetic star-disk torques upon stellar mass naturally explains the observed spin-orbit misalignment trend, provided that misalignments are obtained within the disk-hosting phase.
