Modem dynamics is increasingly participating in the solution of
problems raised by as tronomical observations. This new
relationship is being fostered on one side by the im provements in
the observations, which in recent years contributed several
discoveries of new systems, such as the objects in the Kuiper belt,
the pulsar and star companions, to speak only of the most striking
ones, and, on the other hand, by the progresses in modem dynamics.
The progresses in modem dynamics are due to two factors: the
dissemination of fast computers, allowing the numerical studies of
very complex systems by a large number of scientists, and the
improvement in our understanding of the complex behaviour of
Hamiltonian systems. KAM and Nekhorochev theories have shed a light
on the subtle and surprizing interplays between regular and chaotic
motions; numerical experiments and analytical approximations have
shown how these peculiarities are indeed present in astronomically
important systems and are instrumental in understanding their
formation and evolution.
