Short summary of the contribution of Michel Henon to the subject of stellar dynamics.
A survey of Michel Henon contributions to the study of globular cluster systems.
Fifteen years after the discovery of dynamical friction by Chandrasekhar, Michel Henon attempts to solve the longstanding problem of the divergence of the friction suffered by the perturber and caused by the most distant cluster stars. His…
Paper in honour of Michel Henon, based on a talk presented at Institut Henri Poincare, Paris, 5 Decembre 2013.
In this contribution to the volume in memoriam of Michel Henon, we thought appropriate to look at his early scientific work devoted to the dynamics of large assemblies of interacting masses. He predicted in his PhD thesis that, in such a…
In a pioneering exposition of mathematical astronomy for the public, Sir John Herschel attributed the stability of the ring of Saturn to its being eccentric with respect to the planet and lopsided (asymmetric in mass) by a minute amount.…
We propose a survey of Michel H\'enon works devoted to studying periodic solutions of the well-known celestial mechanics problem -- restricted three-body problem. The description of the main results obtained by H\'enon is given in…
Henon sought the most general spherical potential in which the radial periods of orbits depended only on energy. He named this potential the isochrone, and discovered that it provided a good representation of data for globular clusters. He…
Henry Kandrup wrote prolifically on the problem of relaxation of stellar systems. His picture of relaxation was significantly more refined than the standard description in terms of phase mixing and violent relaxation. In this article, I…
Several chapters in this book present various aspects of Michel Henon's scientific acheivements that spread over a large range of subjects, and yet managed to make deep contributions to most of them. The authors of these chapters make a…
Maxwell's investigations into the stability of Saturn's rings provide one of the earliest analyses of the dynamics of astrophysical discs. Current research in planetary rings extends Maxwell's kinetic theory to treat dense granular gases of…
I review and discuss the contributions of Aron Bernstein to the field of chiral dynamics.
We propose a set of questions on the dynamics of H\'enon maps from the real, complex, algebraic and arithmetic points of view.
This paper is an English translation of Michel H\'enon's thesis, "Sur l'\'evolution dynamique des amas globulaires" originally published in French in the Annales d'Astrophysique, Vol. 24, p.369 (1961).
In this contribution the role of strangeness in astrophysics is discussed and, more precisely, strange hadronic matter in the interior of neutron stars. A special attention is payed to certain phenomena involving strange hadronic matter,…
Hybrid dynamical systems have proven to be a powerful modeling abstraction, yet fundamental questions regarding the dynamical properties of these systems remain. In this paper, we develop a novel class of relaxations which we use to recover…
The mixing properties (or sensitivity to initial conditions) and relaxation dynamics of the Henon map, together with the connection between these concepts, have been explored numerically at the edge of chaos. It is found that the results…
Direct observations of gravitational waves will open in the near future new windows on the Universe. Among the expected sources, instabilities of rotating compact astrophysical objects are waited to be detected with some impatience as this…
Invariant manifolds are the skeleton of the chaotic dynamics in Hamiltonian systems. In Celestial Mechanics, for instance, these geometrical structures are applied to a multitude of physical and practical problems, such as to the…
We study the spin evolution of close-in planets in multi-body systems and present a very general formulation of the spin-orbit problem. This includes a simple way to probe the spin dynamics from the orbital perturbations, a new method for…
