Astro 7671: Suggested readings in Solar System dynamics
compiled by P. D. Nicholson, October 2014
Here is a very idiosyncratic list of significant papers in Solar System dynamics over the
past 50 years. I have marked what may be the most interesting to read with an asterisk. I
have avoided book chapters and conference proceedings, so that the papers are easier to find
on-line. The order is quasi-random, reflecting the nature of my searches on ADS! Thanks
to Joe Burns and Jeff Cuzzi for suggestions.
