According to recent works [Tsui PSS \textbf{55}, 237-242 (2007), \textbf{55}, 2042-2044 (2007)], the Neptune Adams ring main arc Fraternite is regarded as captured by the corotation elliptic resonance (CER) potential of Galatea. The minor…
By distinguishing the main arc Fraternite from the minor arcs Egalite (2,1), Liberte, Courage, the restricted three-body system is extended to a non-conservative restricted four-body system with the central body Neptune S, the primary body…
By considering the finite mass of Fraternite, the dynamic nature of the Adams ring arcs is regarded as caused by the reaction of a test body (a minor arc) through the Lindblad resonance (LR). Assumming the eccentricity of the test body is…
In 1984, three telescopes in South America recorded an occultation of a star near Neptune. It was attributed to the existence of a partial ring or ring arc. The existence of ring arcs around Neptune was confirmed during subsequent years via…
Neptune's incomplete ring arcs have been stable since their discovery in 1984 by stellar occultation. Although these structures should be destroyed within a few months through differential Keplerian motion, imaging data over the past couple…
The arcs of Neptune - Fraternit\'e, Egalit\'e, Libert\'e, and Courage - are four incomplete rings immersed in the Adams ring. A recent confinement model for the arcs proposes that the structures are azimuthally confined by four co-orbital…
The results of the numerical investigations of the evolution of orbits of trans-Neptunian bodies at the 2 : 3 resonance with Neptune are presented. The gravitational influence of the four giant planets was taken into account. For identical…
The designation of the customary restricted three-body disturbing potential $\Phi$ as the perturbation Hamiltonian is believed to be the cause of Neptune ring arcs' radial offset between theories and observations. To identify the…
Effectiveness of galaxite (Al2O3MnO) and manganese oxide (MnO2) in nucleating acicular ferrite was demonstrated in a steel with composition of Fe-13.92Mn-4.53Al-1.28Si-0.11C. The hot rolled and quenched steel had a duplex microstructure of…
The boundaries of the Uranian epsilon, alpha, and beta rings can be fitted by Keplerian ellipses. The pair of ellipses that outline a given ring share a common line of apsides. Apse alignment is surprising because the quadrupole moment of…
Voyager 2 images confirmed the presence of ring arcs around Neptune. These structures need a confinement mechanism to constrain their spreading due to collisions, dissipative forces, and differential keplerian motion. Here we report the…
The detection of low-mass planets orbiting the nearest stars is a central stake of exoplanetary science, as they can be directly characterized much more easily than their distant counterparts. Here, we present the results of our long-term…
The aim of this work is to verify the stability of the proposed orbital solutions for the third moonlet (Delta) taking into account a realistic gravitational potential for the central body of the quadruple system (Alpha). We also aim to…
The discovery of ring systems around objects of the outer Solar System provides a strong motivation to apply theoretical models in order to better estimate their physical and orbital parameters, which can constrain scenarios for their…
In a previous paper, we have presented a global view of the stability of Neptune Trojan (NT hereafter) on inclined orbit. We discuss in this paper the dependence of stability of NT orbits on the eccentricity. High-resolution dynamical maps…
We propose that the eccentricity and sharpness of the edge of Fomalhaut's disk are due to a planet just interior to the ring edge. The collision timescale consistent with the disk opacity is long enough that spiral density waves cannot be…
The Radio Arc is one of the brightest systems of non-thermal filaments (NTFs) in the Galactic Center, located near several prominent HII regions (Sickle and Pistol) and the Quintuplet stellar cluster. We present observations of the Arc NTFs…
Fractals are defined as geometric shapes that exhibit symmetry of scale. This simply implies that fractal is a shape that it would still look the same even if somebody could zoom in on one of its parts an infinite number of times. This…
The ring system and small satellites of Neptune were discovered during Voyager 2 flyby in 1989 (Smith et al.1989). In this work we analyse the diffusion maps which can give an overview of the system. As a result we found the width of…
Observations of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in Neptune's 5:2 resonance present two puzzles: this third order resonance hosts a surprisingly large population, comparable to the prominent populations of Plutinos and Twotinos in the first order…
