A model for Janus and Epimetheus
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessIn 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 ... -
An approach to some classical libration point orbit problems by means of artificial intelligence tecniques
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-11-29)
Master thesis
Open AccessRapid developments in the last decade have demonstrated the potential of new techniques within the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field as an effective approach for different classical problems in the area of astrodynamics. ... -
Analysis of the relative dynamics of a charged spacecraft moving under the influence of a magnetic field
(2018-09-01)
Article
Open AccessWe 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 AccessThere 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 AccessThis 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 AccessIn 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 AccessWe 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 ... -

Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyHis paper studies the dynamics of stable regions for relatively long time intervals (practical stability) in the vicinity of the triangular equilibrium points of a binary asteroid with mass ratio µ larger than Rouths ... -
Dynamics of the parabolic restricted three-body problem
(2015-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe 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 ... -

Conference lecture
Open AccessIn 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
Open AccessWe 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 ... -
Global controllability tests for geometric hybrid control systems
(2020-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper introduces a novel geometric framework to define and study hybrid systems. We exploit the geometry and topology of the set of jump points, where the instantaneous change of dynamics takes place, in order to gain ... -
