Bøger af Alessandra Celletti

The range of phenomena that manifest at all different time and length scales and the wide range of sizes of space objects, from minor bodies in the Solar System to exoplanets, and from dust particles to Jupiter-size bodies, require the development of dynamical modeling and analysis tools that can handle these different scales. This volume collects contributions given by distinguished scientists at the hybrid IAU Symposium 364. The methods in dynamics modeling of space objects have already reached a state of maturity, and their implementation provided a large number of important results pertaining to both the theory and their applications. The contributions cover the recent advances in the multi-scale dynamics of natural and artificial space objects from various perspectives, which will benefit graduate students and researchers working in the fields of celestial mechanics, astrodynamics, planetary sciences, applied mathematics and dynamical systems.

Contents are divided into major topics where the three "souls" of modern celestial mechanics (dynamical systems, Solar System and stellar systems, spaceflight dynamics) play a major role.

This overview of classical celestial mechanics focuses the interplay with dynamical systems. Paradigmatic models introduce key concepts - order, chaos, invariant curves and cantori - followed by the investigation of dynamical systems with numerical methods.
