A dynamical history of the inner Neptunian satellites and Martian weather : Viking observations and M.O. data assimilation techniques

We examine a scenario involving the capture origin of Triton, and infer the dynamical history of the Neptune satellite system. Triton's post-capture orbit forced chaotic perturbations on the original inner satellites of Neptune, leading to their mutual collisions and self-destruction. Neptune&#...
