Chaos,Resonance Coll

This symposium was devoted to a new celestial mechanics whose aim has become the study of such 'objects' as the planetary system, planetary rings, the asteroidal belt, meteor swarms, satellite systems, comet families, the zodiacal cloud, the preplanetary nebula, etc. When the three-body problem is considered instead of individual orbits we are, now, looking for the topology of extended regions of its phase space. This Symposium was one step in the effort to close the ties between two scientific families: the observationally-oriented scientists and the theoretically-oriented scientists.Ferraz-Mello, S. is the author of 'Chaos,Resonance Coll' with ISBN 9780792317821 and ISBN 0792317823.
