Abstract: The stable distant retrograde orbits (DROs) around the Moon are considered as potential parking orbits for cislunar stations that are important facilities in cislunar space. Transfer orbits from DROs to lunar orbits will be fundamental… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Because the distant retrograde orbits dynamics inherently depends on special functions, approximate analytical solutions in the literature are commonly constrained to providing rough approximations of the qualitative behavior. We rely on perturbation methods and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Generally, a common scenario for the origin of minor planets with high orbital inclinations does not exist. This applies especially to objects whose orbital inclinations are much greater than 90° (retrograde asteroids). Since the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1378
Abstract: In this work we investigate the orbital distribution of interstellar objects (ISOs), observable by the future wide-field National Science Foundation Vera C. Rubin Observatory (VRO). We generate synthetic population of ISOs and simulate their ephemerides… read more here.
