Chaotic dynamics in the planar gravitational many-body problem with rigid body rotations

The discovery of Pluto’s small moons in the last decade has brought attention to the dynamics of the dwarf planet’s satellites. With such systems in mind, we study a planar N-body system in which all the bodies are point masses, except for a single rigid body. We then present a reduced model consist...
