Published in 2021 at "Planetary and Space Science"

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2021.105195

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.

Published in 2020 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2773

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.

Published in 2023 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

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.

Published in 2024 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae464

Abstract: By using recent observations of the Dydimos−Dimorphos system from the Hubble Space Telescope, 37 boulders with a size of 4 to 7 meters ejected from the system during the impact with the DART spacecraft were… read more here.
