A Mercury orientation model including non-zero obliquity and librations
Planetary orientation models describe the orientation of the spin axis and prime meridian of planets in inertial space as a function of time. The models are required for the planning and execution of Earth-based or space-based observational work, e.g. to compute viewing geometries and to tie observations to planetary coordinate systems. The current orientation model for Mercury is inadequate be...
متن کاملOrientation uncertainty reduces perceived obliquity
The influence of prejudice on perception should be greatest when certainty about stimulus identity is least. We exploited this relationship to reveal visual biases for the cardinal orientations: vertical and horizontal. Specifically, when we increased the variance of orientations in an array of grating patches, estimates of the mean became less oblique. This result is consistent with a stable p...
متن کاملParadoxical Exhibition, Obliquity and Non Verbal Synchronization
Seductive interaction is here analyzed as a flexible plurality of behavioral patterns, corresponding to the variety of communicative intentions: exhibition, approaching the partner, deepening reciprocal knowledge, and reaching of a level of intimacy. The attention is moved from a structural analysis in which seduction is described as a timed flow of interactions characterized by different “step...
متن کاملTopology optimization of hyperelastic bodies including non-zero prescribed displacements
Stiffness topology optimization is usually based on a state problem of linear elasticity, and there seems to be little discussion on what is the limit for such a small rotation-displacement assumption. We show that even for gross rotations that are in all practical aspects small (< 3 deg), topology optimization based on a large deformation theory might generate different design concepts compare...
متن کاملTheory of the Mercury’s spin-orbit motion and analysis of its main librations
The 3:2 spin-orbit resonance between the rotational and orbital motions of Mercury (the periods are Pφ = 56.646 and Pλ = 87.969 days respectively) results from a functional dependance of the tidal friction adding to a non-zero eccentricity and a permanent asymmetry in the equatorial plane of the planet. The upcoming space missions, MESSENGER and BepiColombo with onboard instrumentation capable ...
