RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The research topics I am working on are the following:
- Long period dynamics of Near Earth Asteroids (NEA's)
- Proper
elements for NEA's
- Map of the secular resonances in the region of
the Earth crossers
- Search for parent bodies of meteor streams.
- Algorithm for the search of stationary points of the distance
function between two elliptic orbits
