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…
Scaling laws to quantify tidal dissipation in star-planet systems
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Stéphane Mathis, Christophe Le Poncin-Lafitte
Planetary systems evolve over secular time scales. One of the key mechanisms that drive this evolution is tidal dissipation. Submitted to tides, stellar and planetary fluid layers…
Scaling laws to understand tidal dissipation in fluid planetary regions and stars I - Rotation, stratification and thermal diffusivity
P. Auclair-Desrotour, S. Mathis, C. Le Poncin-Lafitte
Tidal dissipation in planets and stars is one of the key physical mechanisms driving the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Several signatures of its action are obse…
Scaling laws to understand tidal dissipation in fluid planetary layers and stars
P. Auclair-Desrotour, S. Mathis, C. Le Poncin-Lafitte
Tidal dissipation is known as one of the main drivers of the secular evolution of planetary systems. It directly results from dissipative mechanisms that occur in planets and stars…
Impact of the frequency dependence of tidal Q on the evolution of planetary systems
P. Auclair-Desrotour, C. Le Poncin-Lafitte, S. Mathis
Context. Tidal dissipation in planets and in stars is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive the evolution of planetary systems. Aims. Tidal dissipation properties are intri…
Strong tidal dissipation in Saturn and constraints on Enceladus' thermal state from astrometry
V. Lainey, Ö. Karatekin, J. Desmars +8
Tidal interactions between Saturn and its satellites play a crucial role in both the orbital migration of the satellites and the heating of their interiors. Therefore constraining…
