Dynamics of Distant Moons of Asteroids
solar perturbations dominate. Since the detailed mass distribution within the asteroid is relatively unimportant in We introduce a new analytic method for treating the orbital motions of objects about asteroids and planets. For an asteroid this regime, orbits about one asteroid are similar to those following a circular path around the Sun, we rewrite Jacobi’s about another as long as the eccent...
متن کاملMicrorheology with modulated optical nanoprobes (MOONs)
Metal-capping of one hemisphere of a nano or microparticle breaks the particle’s optical symmetry, allowing its orientation to be tracked using fluorescence and reflection. Tracking orientation and rotation allows the torques acting on the particles be inferred. In addition to serving as rotational nanoviscometers these probes report on local Brownian, magnetic and biomechanical torques. r 2005...
متن کاملElliptical instability in terrestrial planets and moons
Context. The presence of celestial companions means that any planet may be subject to three kinds of harmonic mechanical forcing: tides, precession/nutation, and libration. These forcings can generate flows in internal fluid layers, such as fluid cores and subsurface oceans, whose dynamics then significantly differ from solid body rotation. In particular, tides in non-synchronized bodies and li...
متن کاملAtmospheric Moons Galileo Would Have Loved
In the spirit of the symposium and the theme of the session of this presentation, 7 “Our solar system after Galileo, the grand vision,” I review briefly a relatively recently discovered 8 phenomenon in the solar system − existence of atmospheres on certain moons, including Io, one 9 of the four moons Galileo discovered four centuries ago. The origin of such atmospheres is 10 discussed, and comp...
متن کاملSaturn’s Mysterious Arc-embedded Moons: Recycled Fluff?
Introduction: The satellites of Saturn less than 150 km radius occupy several dynamical niches: within rings (Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora), Coorbiting (Janus and Epimetheus), orbiting among faint rings or in ring arcs (Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe, Pallene) [1], and populating libration regions of larger moons (Telesto, Calypso, Polydeuces, and Helene). Hyperion orbits between Titan and...
