Abstract: Abstract We assessed the orbital evolution of the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), part of the European-Japanese BepiColombo mission, using a gravity field model determined from radio tracking data of the NASA spacecraft MESSENGER. Owing to… read more here.

Abstract: We investigate the effect that dwarf galaxies have on the orbits, tidal histories, and assumed formation environment of Milky Way globular clusters. We determine the orbits of the Milky Way's 150 globular clusters in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1131
Abstract: We present the to-date largest parameter space exploration of binaries in circumbinary disks (CBDs), deriving orbital evolution prescriptions for eccentric, unequal mass binaries from our suite of hydrodynamic simulations. In all cases, binary eccentricities evolve… read more here.
