Future destabilisation of Titan as a result of Saturn's tilting

Melaine Saillenfest, Giacomo Lari

Context: As a result of Titan's migration and Saturn's probable capture in secular spin-orbit resonance, recent works show that Saturn's obliquity could be steadily increasing toda…

The large obliquity of Saturn explained by the fast migration of Titan

Melaine Saillenfest, Giacomo Lari, Gwenaël Boué

The obliquity of a planet is the tilt between its equator and its orbital plane. Giant planets are expected to form with near-zero obliquities. After its formation, some dynamical…

The future large obliquity of Jupiter

Melaine Saillenfest, Giacomo Lari, Ariane Courtot

Aims: We aim to determine whether Jupiter's obliquity is bound to remain exceptionally small in the Solar System, or if it could grow in the future and reach values comparable to t…

The past and future obliquity of Saturn as Titan migrates

Melaine Saillenfest, Giacomo Lari, Gwenaël Boué +1

Aims: It has recently been shown that the fast migration of Titan could be responsible for the current 26.7°-tilt of Saturn's spin axis. We aim to quantify the level of generality…

Long-term orbital dynamics of trans-Neptunian objects

Melaine Saillenfest

This article reviews the different mechanisms affecting the orbits of trans-Neptunian objects, ranging from internal perturbations (planetary scattering, mean-motion resonances, se…

Long-term evolution of the Galilean satellites: the capture of Callisto into resonance

G. Lari, M. Saillenfest, M. Fenucci

Context. The strong tidal dissipation in the couple Jupiter-Io is spread to all the moons involved in the Laplace resonance (Io, Europa, and Ganymede), leading to a migration of th…
