High-eccentricity asteroidal librations are modelled using the high-eccentricity non-planar asymmetric expansion (Roig et al 1997). This second-degree expansion gives us the potential of the perturbing forces acting on a resonant asteroid in a first order resonance in explicit form, as a quadratic polynomial in the canonical non-singular variables. Secular and short periodic perturbations are introduced in the model, giving a more realistic description of the dynamics.The reducing Sessin’s transformation (Sessin, 1981; Sessin & Ferraz-Mello, 1984) is used to include the main effect of Jupiter’s ecc entricity in the main part of the Hamiltonian. It leads to an integrable first-order approximation known as the second fundamental model for resonance (Henrard & Lemaitre 1983) or Andoyer Hamiltonian (Andoyer 1903).

ABSTRACT We simulate the evolution of eccentric binary systems in the frame of the grazing envelope evolution (GEE) channel for the formation of Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb), and find that extra mass removal by jets increases the parameter space for the formation of SNe IIb in this channel. To explore the role of eccentricity and the extra mass removal by jets, we use the stellar evolutionary code mesa binary. The initial primary and secondary masses are M1, i = 15 and M2, i = 2.5 M⊙. We examine initial semimajor axes of 600–1000 R⊙, and eccentricities of e = 0–0.9. Both Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) and mass removal by jets, followed by a wind, leave a hydrogen mass in the exploding star of MH, f ≈ 0.05 M⊙, compatible with an SN IIb progenitor. When the initial orbit is not circular, the final orbit might have a very high eccentricity. In many cases, with and without the extra mass removal by jets, the system can enter a common envelope evolution (CEE) phase, and then gets out from it. For some ranges of eccentricities, the jets are more efficient in preventing the CEE. Despite the large uncertainties, extra mass removal by jets substantially increases the likelihood of the system to get out from a CEE. This strengthens earlier conclusions for circular orbits. In some cases, RLOF alone, without mass removal by jets, can form SN IIb progenitors. We estimate that the extra mass removal by jets in the GEE channel increases the number of progenitors relative to that by RLOF alone by about a factor of 2.

Motions near the 3:1, 4:1 and 5:2 resonances with Jupiter are studied by means of numerical integrations of a semi-analytically averaged Sun-Jupiter-asteroid planar problem. In order to have a model including the very-high-eccentricity regions of the phase space, we adopted a set of local expansions of the disturbing potential, adequate to perform the numerical exploration of regions in the phase space with eccentricities higher than 0.9 (Ferraz-Mello and Klafke, 1991). Individual solutions and qualitative results thus obtained are completely reproduced by numerical integration of the complete equations by filtering off the short-period components of these solutions.

AbstractMany hot Jupiters are observed to be misaligned with respect to the rotation axis of the star (as measured through the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect) and some (about ~ 25%) even appear to be in retrograde orbits. We show that the presence of an additional, moderately inclined and eccentric massive planet in the system can naturally explain close, inclined, eccentric, and even retrograde orbits. We have derived a complete and accurate treatment of the secular dynamics including both the key octupole-order effects and tidal friction. The flow of angular momentum from the inner orbit to the orbit of the perturber can lead to both high eccentricities and inclinations, and even flip the inner orbit. In our treatment the component of the inner orbit's angular momentum perpendicular to the stellar equatorial plane can change sign; a brief excursion to very high eccentricity during the chaotic evolution of the inner orbit can then lead to rapid “tidal capture,” forming a retrograde hot Jupiter. Previous treatments of the secular dynamics focusing on stellar-mass perturbers would not allow for such an outcome, since in that limit the component of the inner orbit's angular momentum perpendicular to the stellar equatorial plane is strictly conserved. Thus, the inclination of the planet's orbit could not change from prograde to retrograde.

AbstractWe present the results of the analysis of a movie taken over a small field of view in the intermediate corona at a spatial resolution of 0.5“, a temporal resolution of 1 s and a spectral passband of 7 nm. These CCD observations were made at the prime focus of the 3.6 m aperture CFHT telescope during the 1991 total solar eclipse.
