In a previous paper, we have presented a global view of the stability of Neptune Trojan (NT hereafter) on inclined orbit. We discuss in this paper the dependence of stability of NT orbits on the eccentricity. High-resolution dynamical maps are constructed using the results of extensive numerical integrations of orbits initialized on the fine grids of initial semimajor axis (a0) versus eccentricity (e0). The extensions of regions of stable orbits on the (a0, e0) plane at different inclinations are shown. The maximum eccentricities of stable orbits in three most stable regions at low (0, 12deg.), medium (22,36deg.) and high (51, 59deg.) inclination, are found to be 0.10, 0.12 and 0.04, respectively. The fine structures in the dynamical maps are described. Via the frequency analysis method, the mechanisms that portray the dynamical maps are revealed. The secondary resonances, concerning the frequency of the librating resonant angle and the frequency of the quasi 2:1 mean motion resonance between Neptune and Uranus, are found deeply involved in the motion of NTs. Secular resonances are detected and they also contribute significantly to the triggering of chaos in the motion. Particularly, the effects of the secular resonance v8, v18 are clarified. We also investigate the orbital stabilities of six observed NTs by checking the orbits of hundreds clones of them generated within the observing error bars. We conclude that four of them, except 2001 QR322 and 2005 TO74, are deeply inside the stable region. The 2001 QR322 is in the close vicinity of the most significant secondary resonance. The 2005 TO74 locates close to the boundary separating stable orbits from unstable ones, and it may be influenced by a secular resonance.

The dynamics of artificial asteroids on the Trojan-like orbits around Neptune is investigated in this paper. We describe the dependence of the orbital stability on the initial semimajor axis a and inclination i by constructing a dynamical map on the
(a,i)-plane. Rich details are revealed in the dynamical map, especially a unstable gap at i=45 deg is determined and the mechanism triggering chaos in this region is figured out. Our investigation can be used to guide the observations.
An episode of dynamical instability is thought to have sculpted the orbital structure of the outer solar system. When modeling this instability, a key constraint comes from Jupiters fifth eccentric mode (quantified by its amplitude M55), which is an
important driver of the solar systems secular evolution. Starting from commonly-assumed near-circular orbits, the present-day giant planets architecture lies at the limit of numerically generated systems, and M55 is rarely excited to its true value. Here we perform a dynamical analysis of a large batch of artificially triggered instabilities, and test a variety of configurations for the giant planets primordial orbits. In addition to more standard setups, and motivated by the results of modern hydrodynamical simulations of the giant planets evolution within the primordial gaseous disk, we consider the possibility that Jupiter and Saturn emerged from the nebular gas locked in 2:1 resonance with non-zero eccentricities. We show that, in such a scenario, the modern Jupiter-Saturn system represents a typical simulation outcome, and M55 is commonly matched. Furthermore, we show that Uranus and Neptunes final orbits are determined by a combination of the mass in the primordial Kuiper belt and that of an ejected ice giant.
We aim to locate the stability region for Uranus Trojans (UT hereafter) and find out the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the structures in the phase space. Using the spectral number as the stability indicator, we construct the dynamical maps on
the (a0, i0) plane. The proper frequencies of UTs are determined precisely so that we can depict the resonance web via a semi-analytical method. Two main stability regions are found, one each for the low-inclination (0-14deg) and high-inclination regime (32-59deg). There is also an instability strip in each of them, at 9deg and 51deg respectively. All stability regions are in the tadpole regime and no stable horseshoe orbits exist for UTs. The lack of moderate-inclined UTs is caused by the nu5 and nu7 secular resonances. The fine structures in the dynamical maps are shaped by high-degree secular resonances and secondary resonances. During the planetary migration, about 36.3% and 0.4% of the pre-formed orbits survive the fast and slow migrations (with migrating time scales of 1 and 10Myr) respectively, most of which are in high inclination. Since the low-inclined UTs are more likely to survive the age of the solar system, they make up 77% of all such long-life orbits by the end of the migration, making a total fraction up to 4.06E-3 and 9.07E-5 of the original population for the fast and slow migrations, respectively. About 3.81% UTs are able to survive the age of the solar system, among which 95.5% are on low-inclined orbits with i0<7.5deg. However, the depletion of the planetary migration seems to prevent a large fraction of such orbits, especially for the slow migration model.
We investigate the resonant rotation of co-orbital bodies in eccentric and planar orbits. We develop a simple analytical model to study the impact of the eccentricity and orbital perturbations on the spin dynamics. This model is relevant in the entir
e domain of horseshoe and tadpole orbit, for moderate eccentricities. We show that there are three different families of spin-orbit resonances, one depending on the eccentricity, one depending on the orbital libration frequency, and another depending on the pericenters dynamics. We can estimate the width and the location of the different resonant islands in the phase space, predicting which are the more likely to capture the spin of the rotating body. In some regions of the phase space the resonant islands may overlap, giving rise to chaotic rotation.
We investigate the properties of the hydrodynamic flow around eccentric protoplanets and compare them with the often assumed case of a circular orbit. To this end, we perform a set of 3D hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanets with small eccentricit
ies ($eleq 0.1$). We adopt an isothermal equation of state and concentrate resolution on the protoplanet to investigate flows down to the scale of the protoplanets circumplanetary disk (CPD). We find enhanced prograde rotation exterior to the CPD for low planet masses undergoing subsonic eccentric motion. If the eccentricity is made large enough to develop a bow shock, this trend reverses and rotation becomes increasingly retrograde. The instantaneous eccentric flow field is dramatically altered compared to circular orbits. Whereas the latter exhibit a generic pattern of polar inflow and midplane outflow, the flow geometry depends on orbital phase in the eccentric case. For even the modest eccentricities tested here, the dominant source of inflow can come from the midplane instead of the poles. We find that the amount of inflow and outflow increases for higher $e$ and lower protoplanet masses, thereby recycling more gas through the planets Bondi radius. These increased fluxes may increase the pebble accretion rate for eccentric planets up to several times that of the circular orbit rate. In response to eccentric motion, the structure and rotation of the planets bound CPD remains unchanged. Because the CPD regulates the eventual accretion of gas onto the planet, we predict little change to the gas accretion rates between eccentric and circular planets.
