Quantification of Tides in Giant Planets from Observations

Valéry Lainey, Marco Zannoni, Vincent Robert +1

Quantifying tidal effects on giant planets has recently made significant advances, thanks in particular to the Cassini space probe. During its thirteen-year orbit around Saturn, nu…

Potential asteroid discoveries by the ESA Gaia mission: Results from follow-up observations

B. Carry, W. Thuillot, F. Spoto +42

Since July 2014, the ESA Gaia mission has been surveying the entire sky down to magnitude 20.7 in the visible. In addition to the millions of stars, thousands of Solar System Objec…

Mars moon ephemerides after 14 years of Mars Express data

V. Lainey, A. Pasewaldt, V. Robert +7

The Mars Express (MEX) mission has been successfully operated around Mars since 2004. Among many results, MEX has provided some of the most accurate astrometric data of the two Mar…

Resonance locking in giant planets indicated by the rapid orbital expansion of Titan

Valéry Lainey, Luis Gomez Casajus, Jim Fuller +8

Tidal effects in planetary systems are the main driver in the orbital migration of natural satellites. They result from physical processes occurring deep inside celestial bodies, w…

APPROX -- Mutual approximations between the Galilean moons. The 2016-2018 observational campaign

B. Morgado, R. Vieira-Martins, M. Assafin +23

The technique of mutual approximations accurately gives the central instant at the maximum apparent approximation of two moving natural satellites in the sky plane. This can be use…

New constraints on Saturn's interior from Cassini astrometric data

Valéry Lainey, Robert A. Jacobson, Radwan Tajeddine +15

Using astrometric observations spanning more than a century and including a large set of Cassini data, we determine Saturn's tidal parameters through their current effects on the o…
