Framework for resonant secular dynamics beyond Neptune, linking mean-motion resonance to long-term Lidov–Kozai-like behavior.
The work focuses on how long-term (secular) evolution of trans-Neptunian objects changes when they are trapped in mean-motion resonances with Neptune, a setting where Lidov–Kozai-like cycles can arise. It provides a dedicated resonant-secular dynamical description intended to study and apply these coupled effects in the region beyond Neptune. This is useful for interpreting the observed orbital architecture of resonant TNO populations and for understanding the pathways that drive large swings in eccentricity and inclination over Solar System timescales.
Analytical resonant-secular modeling of trans-Neptunian dynamics, aimed at practical application to Neptune-resonant orbits.
