Regarding the Putative Eccentricity of Charon’s Orbit
Based on astrometry from an orbit derived byHubble Space Telescope imagery, Charon’s orbital eccentricity has been reported to be in the range of 0.003–0.008. Solar and planetary tides are orders of magnitude too small to induce the reported eccentricity. This nonzero value, if correct, therefore indicates some significant forcing against the two-body tidal equilibrium value, which should forma...
متن کاملSpectrum of 100-kyr glacial cycle: orbital inclination, not eccentricity.
Spectral analysis of climate data shows a strong narrow peak with period approximately 100 kyr, attributed by the Milankovitch theory to changes in the eccentricity of the earth's orbit. The narrowness of the peak does suggest an astronomical origin; however the shape of the peak is incompatible with both linear and nonlinear models that attribute the cycle to eccentricity or (equivalently) to ...
متن کاملResonant Homoclinic Bifurcations with Orbit Flips and Inclination Flips
Homoclinic bifurcation with one orbit flip, two inclination flips and resonance in the tangent directions of homoclinic orbit is considered. By studying the associated successor functions constructed from a local active coordinate system, we prove the existence of double 1-periodic orbit, 1-homoclinic orbit, and also some coexistence conditions of 1-periodic orbit and 1-homoclinic orbit.
متن کاملEvidence for a past high-eccentricity lunar orbit.
The large differences between the Moon's three principal moments of inertia have been a mystery since Laplace considered them in 1799. Here we present calculations that show how past high-eccentricity orbits can account for the moment differences, represented by the low-order lunar gravity field and libration parameters. One of our solutions is that the Moon may have once been in a 3:2 resonanc...
