Giant planets, their satellites and Trojan objects

Alessandro Morbidelli

Professor at the Collège de France

Abstract

This lecture connects the properties of the giant planets to their diverse populations of moons and co-orbiting small bodies. It focuses on irregular satellites, whose inclined and elongated orbits suggest capture, and on Trojan objects that move around stable configurations associated with Jupiter or Neptune.
