The scattered disk is a vast population of trans-Neptunian minor bodies that orbit the sun on highly elongated, long-period orbits. The stability of scattered disk objects is primarily controlled by a single parameter - their perihelion…
Within the framework of restricted four-body problem, we study the motion of an infinitesimal mass by assuming that the primaries of the system are radiating-oblate spheroids surrounded by a circular cluster of material points. In our…
This paper investigates the restricted circular planar three-body problem. We prove that for every negative Jacobi constant of sufficiently large magnitude, the surface of unperturbed parabolic solutions breaks to induce homoclinic tangle…
In this paper, we extend the basic model of the restricted four-body problem introducing two bigger dominant primaries $m_1$ and $m_2$ as oblate spheroids when masses of the two primary bodies ($m_2$ and $m_3$) are equal. The aim of this…
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals, in which solar-mass compact bodies spiral into supermassive black holes, are an important potential source for gravitational wave detectors. Because of the extreme mass-ratio, one can model these systems using…

In the three-body problem with positive energy, solutions which avoid triple collision have the property that the size of the triangle formed by the bodies tends to infinity as $t\rightarrow \pm\infty$. Furthermore, the triangles have…
The restricted circular three-body problem is considered for the following parameter values $C=3.03$, $\mu=0.0009537$ - the values for {\em Oterma} comet in the Sun-Jupiter system. We present a computer assisted proof of an existence of…
The Hilda group is a set of asteroids whose mean motion is in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter. In this paper we use the planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) as a dynamical model and we show that there exists a family…
We investigate the motion in space of an infinitesimal particle in the gravitational field generated by three primary bodies positioned at the vertices of a fixed equilateral triangle. We assume that the distances between the primaries are…
The equations of the restricted three-body problem describe the motion of a massless particle under the influence of two primaries of masses $1-\mu$ and $\mu$, $0\leq \mu \leq 1/2$, that circle each other with period equal to $2\pi$. When…
In this work we introduce a planar restricted four-body problem where a massless particle moves under the gravitational influence due to three bodies following the eight figure choreography, and we explore some symmetric periodic orbits of…
Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the planet's gravitation dominates solar perturbations (the Hill…

The dynamical stability of tightly packed exoplanetary systems remains poorly understood. While for a two-planet system a sharp stability boundary exists, numerical simulations of three and more planet systems show that they can experience…
