Investigations of Relations Between Jupiter-Europa and Jupiter-Ganymede Resonant Tori in the Planar Bicircular Restricted 4-Body Problem
Most unstable periodic orbits of the planar circular restricted 3-body problem (PCRTBP) persist as invariant tori when a periodic forcing is added to the equations of motion. Among the persisting orbits are unstable resonant periodic or- bits. In this study, we first compute invariant tori in the planar concentric cir- cular restricted 4-body problem corresponding to exterior Jupiter-Europa and in- terior Jupiter-Ganymede PCRTBP resonant periodic orbits. Motivated by the 2:1 Laplace resonance between the orbits of Europa and Ganymede around Jupiter, we then use the computed tori to characterize relations between m:n Jupiter-Ganymede and m:2n Jupiter-Europa PCRTBP resonant orbits.
Computation and Analysis of Jupiter-Europa and Jupiter-Ganymede Resonant Orbits in the Planar Concentric Circular Restricted 4-body Problem
Many unstable periodic orbits of the planar circular restricted 3-body problem (PCRTBP) persist as invariant tori when a periodic forcing is added to the equa- tions of motion. In this study, we compute tori corresponding to exterior Jupiter- Europa and interior Jupiter-Ganymede PCRTBP resonant periodic orbits in a con- centric circular restricted 4-body problem (CCR4BP). Motivated by the 2:1 Laplace resonance between Europa and Ganymede’s orbits, we then attempt the continu- ation of a Jupiter-Europa 3:4 resonant orbit from the CCR4BP into the Jupiter- Ganymede PCRTBP. We strongly believe that the resulting dynamical object is a KAM torus lying near but not on the 3:2 Jupiter-Ganymede resonance.
Using GPUs and the Parameterization Method for Rapid Search and Refinement of Connections between Tori in Periodically Perturbed Planar Circular Restricted 3-Body Problems
When the planar circular restricted 3-body problem is periodically perturbed, most unstable periodic orbits become invariant tori. However, 2D Poincare ́ sections no longer work to find their manifolds’ intersections; new methods are needed. In this study, we first review a method of restricting the intersection search to only certain manifold subsets. We then implement this search using Julia and OpenCL, representing the manifolds as triangular meshes and gaining a 30x speedup using GPUs. We finally show how to use manifold parametrizations to refine the ap- proximate connections found in the mesh search. We demonstrate the tools on the planar elliptic RTBP.
Rapid and Accurate Computation of Invariant Tori, Manifolds, and Connections Near Mean Motion Resonances in the Periodically Perturbed Planar Circular Restricted 3-Body Problem Models
When the planar circular restricted 3-body problem (RTBP) is periodically perturbed, most unstable resonant periodic orbits become invariant tori. In this study, we 1) develop a quasi-Newton method which simultaneously solves for the tori and their center, stable, and unstable directions; 2) implement continuation by both perturbation as well as rotation numbers; 3) compute Fourier-Taylor parameterizations of the stable and unstable manifolds; 4) globalize these manifolds; 5) compute homoclinic and heteroclinic connections. Our methodology improves on efficiency and accuracy compared to prior studies, and applies to a variety of periodic perturbations. We demonstrate the tools on the planar elliptic RTBP.
