Synchronisation of a tidal binary by inward orbital migration. The case of Pluto and Charon
Michael Efroimsky, Michaela Walterova, Yeva Gevorgyan +3
It is usually taken for granted that mutual synchronisation of a tidal two-body system is attained through tidal recession, assuming the reduced Hill sphere is not reached. However…
Is there a semi-molten layer at the base of the lunar mantle?
Michaela Walterová, Marie Běhounková, Michael Efroimsky
Parameterised by the Love number and the tidal quality factor , and inferred from lunar laser ranging (LLR), tidal dissipation in the Moon follows an unexpected frequency…
Interior Dynamics and Thermal Evolution of Mars -- a Geodynamic Perspective
Ana-Catalina Plesa, Mark Wieczorek, Martin Knapmeyer +3
Over the past decades, global geodynamical models have been used to investigate the thermal evolution of terrestrial planets. With the increase of computational power and improveme…
Thermal and orbital evolution of low-mass exoplanets
Michaela Walterová, Marie Běhounková
Thermal, orbital, and rotational dynamics of tidally loaded exoplanets are interconnected by intricate feedback. The rheological structure of the planet determines its susceptibili…
