The present status of the (JR) dynamical parton distribution functions is reported. Different theoretical improvements, including the determination of the strange sea input distribution, the treatment of correlated errors and the inclusion…

The critical inclination is of special interest in artificial satellite theory. The critical inclination can maintain minimal deviations of eccentricity and argument of pericentre from the initial values, and orbits at this inclination have…

This work introduces a linearized analytical model for the study of the dynamic of satellites in near circular orbits under the effects of the atmospheric drag. This includes the evaluation of the station keeping required for each satellite…

In this paper we investigate the gravitational waves emission by stellar dynamical structures as complex systems in the quadrupole approximation considering bounded and unbounded orbits. Precisely, after deriving analytical expressions for…

Some considerations are reported, freely inspired from the presentations and discussions during the Beijing Normal University Workshop on the above Subject, held in July 2007. Of course this cannot be a complete summary but just a…

Quantifying long-term statistical properties of satellite trajectories typically entails time-consuming trajectory propagation. We present a fast, ergodic\cite{Arnold} method of analytically estimating these for $J_2-$perturbed elliptical…

We discuss astrophysical scenarios relevant to the generation of gravitational waves (GW) and effects expected to arise from the interaction of GW and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. A strong programme of coordinated GW and EM astrophysical…

An overview of selected topical problems on modelling oscillation properties in solar-like stars is presented. High-quality oscillation data from both space-borne intensity observations and ground-based spectroscopic measurements provide…

The main objective for this research was the analytical exploration of the dynamics of planar satellite rotation during the motion of an elliptical orbit around a planet. First, we revisit the results of J. Wisdom et al. (1984), in which,…

Three-dimensional equatorial trapped waves excited by stellar isolation and the resulting equatorial superrotating jet in a vertical stratified atmosphere of a tidally-locked hot Jupiter are investigated. Taking the hot Jupiter HD 189733b…

The perspectives of detecting the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect on the orbits of the Galilean moons of Jupiter induced by the angular momentum ${\boldsymbol{S}}$ of the latter are preliminarily investigated.…

An interesting feature of the giant planets of our solar system is the existence of regions around these objects where no irregular satellites are observed. Surveys have shown that, around Jupiter, such a region extends from the outermost…

EUV jets situated in coronal holes are thought to play an important role in supplying heated material to the corona and solar wind. The multi-wavelength capabilities and high signal-to-noise of detectors on-board SDO allows for detailed…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author, because a better treatment is given in the author's Phd. thesis (Sections 3.4.6 and 4.4), now available on the arxiv.

In a previous paper, using ergodic theory, Lo [1] derived a simple definite integral that provided an estimate of the view periods of ground stations to satellites. This assumes the satellites are in circular orbits with non-repeating…

Normal form stability estimates are a basic tool of Celestial Mechanics for characterizing the long-term stability of the orbits of natural and artificial bodies. Using high-order normal form constructions, we provide three different…

Global navigation satellite systems use appropriate satellite constellations to get the coordinates of an user -close to Earth- in an almost inertial reference system. We have simulated both GPS and GALILEO constellations. Uncertainties in…

We present thermal model fits for 11 Jovian and 3 Saturnian irregular satellites based on measurements from the WISE/NEOWISE dataset. Our fits confirm spacecraft-measured diameters for the objects with in situ observations (Himalia and…
