The Cherenkov radiation is substantially modified in the presence of a medium with a nontrivial dispersion relation. We consider Cherenkov emission spectra of a point charge moving in general three- (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) photonic…

We discuss the applicability of the Melnikov and Landau-Teller theories in obtaining semi-analytical estimates of the speed of chaotic diffusion in systems driven by the separatrix-like stochastic layers of a resonance belonging to the…
We developed a method to calculate positions and widths of three-body resonances. The method combines the hyperspherical adiabatic approach, slow variable discretization method (Tolstikhin et al., J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 29, L389…
Asteroid families are formed as the result of collisions. Large fragments are ejected with speeds of the order of the escape velocity from the parent body. After the family formation, the fragments' orbits evolve in the space of proper…
The inner asteroid belt between 2.1 and 2.5 au is of particular dynamical significance because it is the dominant source of both chondritic meteorites and near-Earth asteroids. This inner belt is bounded by an eccentricity-type secular…
A condition upon which sporadic bursts (intermittent behaviour) of the relative energy become possible is derived for the motion in the chaotic layer around the separatrix of non-linear resonance. This is a condition for the existence of a…
Aims. To date, more than 600 multi-planetary systems have been discovered. Due to the limitations of the detection methods, our knowledge of the systems is usually far from complete. In particular, for planetary systems discovered with the…
Context. Stellar migration of the galactic disc stars has been invoked to explain the dispersion of stellar metallicity observed in the solar neighborhood. Aims. We seek to identify the dynamical mechanisms underlying stellar migration in…

We present a numerical method to estimate the strengths of arbitrary three body mean motion resonances between two planets in circular coplanar orbits and a massless particle in an arbitrary orbit. This method allows us to obtain an atlas…
Some principles in the distribution of Centaurs and the "Scattered Disk" objects, as well as the Kuiper belt objects for its semi-major axes, eccentricities and inclinations of the orbits have been investigated. It has been established,…
Asteroids residing in the first-order mean motion resonances with Jupiter hold important information about the processes that set the final architecture of giant planets. Here we revise current populations of objects in the J2/1 (Hecuba-gap…
In this paper we present our results of numerical integrations of orbits of fictive massless particle in vicinity of resonance. Our goal is to study the dependences of period (frequency) of resonance perturbations and the width of the…
Mean-motion resonances between a Keplerian disc and an orbiting companion are analysed within a Hamiltonian formulation using complex canonical Poincare variables, which are ideally suited to the description of eccentricity and inclination…
Recent discoveries show that asteroids spinning in less than a few minutes undergo sizeable semi-major-axis drifts, possibly driven by the Yarkovsky effect. Analytical formulas can match these drifts only if very low thermal inertia is…
We present a diffusion mechanism for time-dependent perturbations of autonomous Hamiltonian systems introduced in [25]. This mechanism is based on shadowing of pseudo-orbits generated by two dynamics: an `outer dynamics', given by…
Gravitational scattering of small bodies (planetesimals) by a planet remains a fundamental problem in celestial mechanics. It is traditionally modeled within the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP), where individual particle…
