Title A Comparison of the Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems : Proceedings of the Sixth Alexander von Humboldt Colloquium on Celestial Mechanics Bad Hofgastein (Austria), 21-27 March 2004 Author(s) Dvorak, Rudolf;Ferraz-Mello, Sylvio Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2005. Description VIII, 300 p : online resource Abstract Note The papers in this volume cover a wide range of subjects covering the most recent developments in Celestial Mechanics from the theoretical point of nonlinear dynamical systems to the application to real problems. We emphasize the papers on the formation of planetary systems, their stability and also the problem of habitable zones in extrasolar planetary systems. A special topic is the stability of Trojans in our planetary system, where more and more realistic dynamical models are used to explain their complex motions: besides the important contribution from the theoretical point of view, the results of several numerical experiments unraveled the structure of the stable zone around the librations points. This volume will be of interest to astronomers and mathematicians interested in Hamiltonian mechanics and in the dynamics of planetary systems ISBN,Price 9781402044663 Keyword(s) 1. ASTRONOMY 2.
