We study the linear differential equation x' = Lx in 1:1 resonance. That is, x in R^4 and L is a 4 by 4 matrix with a semi-simple double pair of imaginary eigenvalues (ib,-ib,ib,-ib). We wish to find all perturbations of this linear system…

With $n$-body simulations we investigate the stability of tilted circumbinary planetary systems consisting of two nonzero mass planets. The planets are initially in circular orbits that are coplanar to each other, as would be expected if…
Many of the multi-planet systems discovered to date have been notable for their compactness, with neighbouring planets closer together than any in the Solar System. Interestingly, planet-hosting stars have a wide range of ages, suggesting…

Direct solution of simultaneous linear equations is regarded to be slow for large systems of equations and requires special treatment to avoid numerical instability. A new method is proposed that addresses the numerical instability without…
We study the dynamics of an elastic body whose shape and position evolve due to the gravitational forces exerted by a pointlike planet. We work in the quadrupole approximation. We consider the solution in which the center of mass of the…
