In 1962, astronomers Michel H\'enon and Carl Heiles studied orbits of stars around centers of galaxies to determine the third integral of motion in galactic dynamics. In order to do this, they reduced the system down to a 2-dimensional…

The objective of this work is to examine the integrability of Hamiltonian systems in $2D$ spaces with variable curvature of certain types. Based on the differential Galois theory, we announce the necessary conditions of the integrability.…
Short summary of the contribution of Michel Henon to the subject of stellar dynamics.
We present the basic formulation of Hamilton dynamics in complex phase space. We extend the Hamilton's function by including the imaginary part and find out the corresponding Hamilton's canonical equation of motion. Example of simple…
Several dynamical systems of interest in celestial mechanics can be written in the form of a Newton equation with time-dependent damping, linear in the velocities. For instance, the modified Kepler problem, the spin-orbit model and the…
