Joint dynamical-geophysical evidence for a limit cycle in the Galilean moons
Amirhossein Bagheri, Steven Vance, Jim Fuller +5
Io, Europa, and Ganymede orbit in the Laplace mean-motion resonance, where their orbital and thermochemical evolution are strongly coupled [1-5]. Forced eccentricities sustain tida…

Tidal Dissipation in Dual-Body, Highly Eccentric, and Non-synchronously Rotating Systems: Applications to Pluto-Charon and the Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e
Joe P. Renaud, Wade G. Henning, Prabal Saxena +4
Using the Andrade-derived Sundberg-Cooper rheology, we apply several improvements to the secular tidal evolution of TRAPPIST-1e and the early history of Pluto-Charon under the simp…
