Nekhoroshev stability for the D’Alembert problem of Celestial Mechanics

Similarity:

The classical D’Alembert Hamiltonian model for a rotational oblate planet revolving near a «day-year» resonance around a fixed star on a Keplerian ellipse is considered. Notwithstanding the strong degeneracies of the model, stability results a là Nekhoroshev (i.e. for times which are exponentially long in the perturbative parameters) for the angular momentum of the planet hold.

Periodic orbits close to elliptic tori and applications to the three-body problem

Massimiliano Berti, Luca Biasco, Enrico Valdinoci (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy “twist” conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic invariant tori (of hamiltonian systems). We prove the applicability of this result to the spatial planetary three-body problem in the small eccentricity-inclination regime. Furthermore, we find other periodic orbits under some restrictions on the period...
