Resumen

The problem of the dynamics of a charged particle orbiting around a rotating magnetic planet is revisited, the goal being twofold. On the one hand the model takes into account, apart from the magnetic and the electric field, the gravitational potential of the planet where the effect of the planetary oblateness is also incorporated. The techniques used in this analysis include averaging with respect to the mean anomaly, reduction to the simplest possible reduced space, study of the possible relative equilibria with the occurring parametric bifurcations and the stability analysis of these equilibria using normal forms. Also, we prove the existence of KAM 3-tori of the original system from the relative equilibria that are elliptic points in the fully-reduced space. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
