• #### A model for Janus and Epimetheus ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Bachelor thesis
Open Access
In this work we present a model that tries to fit the behaviour of Janus and Epimetheus, two co-orbital moons of Saturn. This has been done before using the model for the two-dimensional restricted three-body problem, and ...
• #### Analysis of the relative dynamics of a charged spacecraft moving under the influence of a magnetic field ﻿

(2018-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
We analyse a dynamical scenario where a constantly charged spacecraft (follower) moves in the vicinity of another one (leader) that follows a circular Keplerian orbit around the Earth and generates a rotating magnetic ...
• #### Backlund transformations on coadjoint orbits of the loop algebra gl(n) ﻿

(2003)
Article
Open Access
There is a wide class of integrable Hamiltonian systems on ﬁnite-dimensional coadjoint orbits of the loop algebra ˜ gl(r) which are represented by r × r Lax equations with a rational spectral parameter.A reduced complex ...
• #### Computation of libration point orbits and manifolds using collocation methods ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-07-13)
Master thesis
Open Access
This thesis contains a methodology whose aim is to compute trajectories describing natural motion of the phase space in a neighborhood of Libtation points and stable/unstable manifolds which correspond to these orbits in ...
• #### Conservation of orbital angular momentum in crystals with a random domain distribution of nonlinearity in SHG ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-09-07)
Master thesis
Open Access
In this master thesis we build an experimental setup for studying the conservation of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light in second harmonic generation (SHG) in Strontium Barium Niobate (SBN) crystals with random ...
• #### Coorbital periodic orbits in the three body problem ﻿

(2003-05)
Article
Open Access
We consider the dynamics of coorbital motion of two small moons about a large planet which have nearly circular orbits with almost equal radii. These moons avoid collision because they switch orbits during each close ...
• #### Dynamics around the triangular libration points of 1999 KW4 ﻿

Article
Open Access
The main purpose of the paper is the study of the motion of a massless body attracted, under the Newton's law of gravitation, by two equal masses moving in parabolic orbits all over in the same plane, the planar parabolic ...
• #### Formation flying in space borne artificial magnetic dipole field ﻿

(2017)
Conference lecture
Open Access
In this paper, we consider a new dynamical scenario in which a constantly charged spacecraft (follower) moves near a leader spacecraft, which follows a circular Keplerian orbit around the Earth and generates a rotating ...
• #### Geosynchronous inclined orbits for high-latitude communications ﻿

(2017-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
We present and discuss a solution to the growing demand for satellite telecommunication coverage in the high-latitude geographical regions (beyond 55°N), where the signal from geostationary satellites is limited or ...
• #### J2 effect and elliptic inclined periodic orbits in the collision three-body problem ﻿

(2008-01)
Article
Open Access
The existence of a new class of inclined periodic orbits of the collision restricted three{body problem is shown. The symmetric periodic solutions found are perturbations of elliptic kepler orbits and they exist only for ...

The restricted planar elliptic three body problem models the motion of a massless body under the Newtonian gravitational force of two other bodies, the primaries, which evolve in Keplerian ellipses. A trajectory is called ...
• #### Review of Lambert's problem ﻿

(2015)
Conference lecture
Open Access
Lambert’s problem is the orbital boundary-value problem constrained by two points and elapsed time. It is one of the most extensively studied problems in celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and, as such, it has always ...
