Abstract Using a process similar to the creation of hypervelocity stars, we show how binary
objects (binary asteroid, spaceship+ asteroid, etc.) can be used for interstellar travel.
Previous research has shown that binary star-single star interactions can cause high- ...

Abstract Agnor and Hamilton (2006 Nature 441: 192-194) have convincingly demonstrated
how Triton might have been captured in a three-body" binary-exchange''encounter involving
Neptune and Pluto-mass binary. In such an event, a binary terrestrial object is tidally ...

ABSTRACT We develop techniques with general applicability in searching for low-
dimensional chaotic behavior in nonuniformly sampled time series data. This is done
through the analysis of a specific example, viz., postcollapse

Abstract The dynamics of Trojan asteroids constitutes one of the richest fields of celestial
mechanics, as a real application of the three-body problem. It involves the L 4 and L 5
Lagrange points and the conditions of stability around these two points. In this chapter we ...

Abstract Extrapolating from the technique of gravitational assist via chaotic trajectories of
binary objects, this paper considers how such techniques might be used in other systems.
We examine which types of systems are the best candidates for harvesting gravitational ...

Abstract The HYPER-MUCHFUSS project targets a population of high velocity subluminous
B stars to discover either close binaries with massive unseen companions or hyper-velocity
stars. Our starting point is the enormous database of SDSS. We preselected sdO/B ...
