Spin-Orbit Synchronization and Singular Perturbation Theory
Clodoaldo Ragazzo, Lucas Ruiz dos Santos
In this study, we formulate a set of differential equations for a binary system to describe the secular-tidal evolution of orbital elements, rotational dynamics, and deformation (f…

Tidal Evolution and Spin-Orbit Dynamics: The Critical Role of Rheology
Clodoaldo Ragazzo, Lucas Ruiz dos Santos
This study analyzes secular dynamics using averaged equations that detail tidal effects on the motion of two extended bodies in Keplerian orbits. It introduces formulas for energy…
