Tidal spin down rates of homogeneous triaxial viscoelastic bodies
Alice C. Quillen, Andrea Kueter-Young, Julien Frouard +1
We use numerical simulations to measure the sensitivity of the tidal spin down rate of a homogeneous triaxial ellipsoid to its axis ratios by comparing the drift rate in orbital se…
Precession Relaxation of Viscoelastic Oblate Rotators
Julien Frouard, Michael Efroimsky
Perturbations of all sorts destabilise the rotation of a small body and leave it in a non-principal spin state. In such a state, the body experiences alternating stresses generated…
Numerical Simulation of Tidal Evolution of a Viscoelastic Body Modelled with a Mass-Spring Network
Julien Frouard, Alice C. Quillen, Michael Efroimsky +1
We use a damped mass-spring model within an N-body code to simulate the tidal evolution of the spin and orbit of a self-gravitating viscoelastic spherical body moving around a poin…
