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:

Planet Formation around Binary Stars: Tatooine Made Easy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the characteristics of circumbinary orbits in the context of current planet formation scenarios and confirmed their predictions with a suite of representative simulations with NASA's Kepler satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explicitly modelled deep-time tidal dissipation and its implication for Lunar history
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted numerical simulations for a range of paleogeographic configurations over the last 252 My and found that the present is a poor guide to the past in terms of tidal dissipation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamical mechanism for establishing apsidal resonance
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in a system of two planets initially in nearly circular orbits, an impulse perturbation that imparts a finite eccentricity to one planet's orbit causes the other planet to become eccentric as well and also naturally results in a libration of their relative apsidal longitudes for a wide range of initial conditions.

No pseudosynchronous rotation for terrestrial planets and moons
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there exist no stable equilibrium states for solid planets and moons, other than spin-orbit resonances, for any given satellite, except for the one for a telluric satellite on an eccentric orbit.

The capture of Trojan asteroids by the giant planets during planetary migration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamical capture of Trojans by all four giant planets from a primordial trans-Neptunian disc and found that the likelihood of a given planetesimal from this region being captured on to an orbit within Jupiter's Trojan cloud lies between several times 10-6 and 10-5.
