This paper concerns heteroclinic connections and resonance transitions in the planar
circular restricted 3-body problem, with applications to the dynamics of comets and asteroids …

In this paper we apply dynamical systems techniques to the problem of heteroclinic
connections and resonance transitions in the planar circular restricted three-body problem …

Abstract In 1991, the Japanese Hiten mission used a low energy transfer with a ballistic
capture at the Moon which required less Δ V than a standard Hohmann transfer. In this …

This paper is devoted to the analysis of an extended neighborhood of the collinear
equilibrium points of the restricted three body problem. The analysis is done using numerical …

This paper develops a Chebyshev–Taylor spectral method for studying stable/unstable
manifolds attached to periodic solutions of differential equations. The work exploits the …

There has recently been considerable interest in sending a spacecraft to orbit Europa, the
smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. The trajectory design involved in effecting a …

Given a complex analytical Hamiltonian system, we prove that a necessary condition for its
meromorphic complete integrability is the commutativity of the identity component of the …

The classical Hill's problem is a simplified version of the restricted three body problem
(RTBP) where the distance of the two massive bodies (say, primary for the largest one and …

The low-thrust version of the low energy transfers to the Moon exploiting the structure of the
invariant manifolds associated to the Lagrange point orbits is presented in this paper. A …

The restricted circular three-body problem is considered for the following parameter values
C= 3.03, μ= 0.0009537–the values for the Oterma comet in the Sun-Jupiter system. We …
