Definitions

1. Orbital Resonance is also the title of a science fiction novel by John Barnes.
2. Orbital Resonance is a coming-of-age story, reminded me a bit of David Palmer's Emergence.
3. Orbital Resonance is the title of a science fiction novel by John Barnes.

Orbital Resonances

1. This ringlet is also called the Titan Ringlet as it is governed by an orbital resonance with the moon Titan.
2. The Laplace orbital resonance drives a substantial eccentricity.

Bodies

1. It results in the orbiting bodies synchronizing their rotation so that one side always faces its partner (or, alternately, places them in orbital resonance).
2. Orbital resonance Orbital Resonance is also the title of a science fiction novel by John Barnes.
3. The extrasolar planet s Gliese 876 b and Gliese 876 c are in a 2:1 orbital resonance Orbital resonances can also destabilize one of the orbits. (Web site)
4. A well-written book that needs that "almost a short story" feel, Orbital Resonance is a good introduction to John Barnes.
5. A mean motion orbital resonance occurs when two bodies have periods of revolution that are a simple integer ratio of each other. (Web site)

Pluto

1. A large number of Kuiper belt objects, like Pluto, possess a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune. (Web site)
2. They are named after Pluto, which also has this same orbital resonance.

Neptune

1. It is classified as a plutino, which means that it is in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune, similar to that of Pluto.
2. Ixion is a plutino (an object that has a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune); its estimated diameter of 800 km makes it the third largest plutino. (Web site)
3. A plutino is a trans-Neptunian object that has a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune.
4. A large number of Kuiper belt objects, like Pluto, possess a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune.
5. In astronomy, a plutino is a trans-Neptunian object that has a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune. (Web site)

Inner

1. The inner edge of the Cassini Division is governed by a strong orbital resonance.
2. The answer may lie in the orbital resonance of the inner three Galilean satellites.

Jupiter

1. Inner Main Belt, inside of the strong Kirkwood gap at 2.50 AU due to the 3:1 Jupiter orbital resonance.
2. Instead, this is a "dynamical" family of bodies, made up of asteroids which are in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)
3. The Hilda family orbit between 3.5 and 4.2 AU, and have relatively circular orbits and a stable 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)
4. Asteroid orbits continue to be appreciably perturbed whenever their period of revolution about the Sun forms an orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)
5. Jupiter's gravitational influence, through orbital resonance, clears Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, first recognised by Daniel Kirkwood in 1874.

Outer Edge

1. Similarly to the B Ring, the A Ring's outer edge is maintained by an orbital resonance, in this case the 7:6 resonance with Janus and Epimetheus.
2. Skirting the outer edge of the main belt is the Cybele group, orbiting between 3.3 and 3.5 AU. These have a 7:4 orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)

Spin-Orbit Resonance

1. Examples of a real harmonic lock would be Mercury, with its 3:2 spin-orbit resonance or other orbital resonance.

Planet

1. A quasi-satellite is an object in a 1:1 orbital resonance with its planet that stays close to the planet over many orbital periods. (Web site)

Secular Resonance

1. A secular resonance is a type of orbital resonance. (Web site)

Resonance

1. Types of resonance In general, an orbital resonance may involve one or any combination of the orbit parameters (e.g. (Web site)

Orbital Period

1. This is two-fifths the orbital period of Saturn, forming a 5:2 orbital resonance between the two largest planets in the Solar System.

Mimas

1. Mimas also is in orbital resonance with a number of observed structures in Saturn's ring system.

Asteroids

1. Asteroids that have a 1:1 orbital resonance with a planet are also called co-orbital objects, because they follow the orbit of the planet.
2. It belongs to Cybele group of asteroids and is probably in 4:7 orbital resonance with planet Jupiter.
3. A notable exception to this small-difference rule are asteroids lying in the Kirkwood gaps, which are in strong orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)

Kirkwood Gaps

1. Jupiter's gravitational influence also results in Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, orbits cleared by orbital resonance.
2. Cyan arrows point to the Kirkwood gaps, where orbital resonance s with Jupiter destabilize orbits.
3. Jupiter's gravitational influence, through orbital resonance, clears Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, first recognised by Daniel Kirkwood in 1874. (Web site)

Orbital Resonance

1. Skirting the outer edge of the main belt is the Cybele group, orbiting between 3.3 and 3.5 AU. These have a 7:4 orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)
2. The 4:1 orbital resonance with Jupiter, at a radius 2.06 AU, can be considered the inner boundary of the main belt. (Web site)
3. It belongs to the Cybele group of asteroids and may have been trapped in a 4:7 orbital resonance with Jupiter. (Web site)
