Tidal interactions of a Maclaurin spheroid. II: Resonant excitation of modes by a close, misaligned orbit
Harry J. Braviner, Gordon I. Ogilvie
We model a tidally forced star or giant planet as a Maclaurin spheroid, decomposing the motion into the normal modes found by Bryan (1889). We first describe the general prescripti…

Tidal interactions of a Maclaurin spheroid. I: Properties of free oscillation modes
Harry J. Braviner, Gordon I. Ogilvie
We review the work of Bryan (1889) on the normal modes of a Maclaurin spheroid, carrying out numerical calculations of the frequencies and spatial forms of these modes that have no…
