Long-term evolution of the spin of Mercury I. Effect of the obliquity and core-mantle friction
A. C. M. Correia, J. Laskar
The present obliquity of Mercury is very low (less than 0.1 degree), which led previous studies to always adopt a nearly zero obliquity during the planet's past evolution. However,…
Solid-solid interaction in the two body problem
G. Boue, J. Laskar
We consider the solid-solid interactions in the two body problem. The relative equilibria have been previously studied analytically and general motions were numerically analyzed us…
Mercury's capture into the 3/2 spin-orbit resonance including the effect of core-mantle friction
Alexandre C. M. Correia, Jacques Laskar
The rotation of Mercury is presently captured in a 3/2 spin-orbit resonance with the orbital mean motion. The capture mechanism is well understood as the result of tidal interactio…
Quantum Physics Exploring Gravity in the Outer Solar System: The Sagas Project
P. Wolf, Ch. J. Bordé, A. Clairon +52
We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the…
