Dynamics of Mars Trojans
In this paper we explore the dynamical stability of the Mars Trojan region applying mainly Laskar’s Frequency Map Analysis. This method yields the chaotic diffusion rate of orbits and allows to determine the most stable regions. It also gives the frequencies which are responsible for the instability of orbits. The most stable regions are found for inclinations between about 15◦ and 30◦. For inc...
متن کاملThe Instability of Venus Trojans
Using Laskar’s frequency map analysis, we investigate the long-term stability of Venus Trojan orbits. By measuring the diffusion rate of proper frequencies, we outline in phase space the most stable region. It is located between 5 and 10 in proper inclination with libration amplitudes ranging from 50 to 110 . The proper eccentricity is lower than 0.13. The stable region is surrounded by secular...
متن کاملWater filling may not good neighbors make
Abstract— Consider a wireless system with multiple and independent user-base pairings over some region. Each user tries to greedily optimize its performance, and eventually a simultaneous water-filling fixed point is reached. Here we seek to analytically understand properties of different water-filling fixed points. In so doing we show that water-filling alone does not generally result in optim...
متن کاملOn the Dynamics of Inclined Neptune’s Trojans
The dynamics of artificial asteroids on the Trojan-like orbits around Neptune is investigated in this paper. We describe the dependence of the orbital stability on the initial semimajor axis a and inclination i by constructing a dynamical map on the (a, i)−plane. Rich details are revealed in the dynamical map, especially a unstable gap at i = 45◦ is determined and the mechanism triggering chaos...
متن کاملComposition of Surface Materials on the Moons of Mars
The two small asteroid-like bodies orbiting Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are low albedo and exhibit similar visible to near-infrared spectra. Determining the origin of these moons is closely tied to determining their composition. From available spectroscopic data Phobos exhibits two distinct types of materials across its surface, and data from both Mars Express and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have ...
