Spin–orbit evolution of Mercury revisited
- B. Noyelles, J. Frouard, V. Makarov, M. Efroimsky
- Physics
- 29 June 2013
Abstract Although it is accepted that the significant eccentricity of Mercury (0.206) favours entrapment into the 3:2 spin–orbit resonance, open are the questions of how and when the capture took… Expand
The science case for an orbital mission to Uranus: exploring the origins and evolution of ice giant planets
- C. Arridge, N. Achilleos, +111 authors P. Zarka
- Physics
- 1 December 2014
Giant planets helped to shape the conditions we see in the Solar System today and they account for more than 99% of the mass of the Sun's planetary system. They can be subdivided into the Ice Giants… Expand
Uranus Pathfinder: exploring the origins and evolution of Ice Giant planets
- C. Arridge, C. B. Agnor, +76 authors P. Zarka
- Physics
- 1 April 2012
The “Ice Giants” Uranus and Neptune are a different class of planet compared to Jupiter and Saturn. Studying these objects is important for furthering our understanding of the formation and evolution… Expand
Interpreting the librations of a synchronous satellite – How their phase assesses Mimas’ global ocean
- B. Noyelles
- Physics
- 19 May 2016
Abstract Most of the main planetary satellites of our Solar System are expected to be in synchronous rotation, the departures from the strict synchronicity being a signature of the interior.… Expand
Titan's rotation A 3-dimensional theory
- B. Noyelles, A. Lemaître, A. Vienne
- Physics
- 25 October 2007
Aims. We study the forced rotation of Titan seen as a rigid body at the equilibrium Cassini state, involving the spin-orbit synchronization. Methods. We used both the analytical and the numerical… Expand

A numerical exploration of Miranda's dynamical history
- E. Verheylewegen, B. Noyelles, A. Lemaître
- Physics
- 18 February 2013
The Uranian satellite Miranda presents a high inclination (4.338 ◦ ) and evidences of resurfacing. It is accepted since 20 years (e.g. Tittemore and Wisdom 1989, Malhotra and Dermott 1990) that this… Expand
The influence of orbital dynamics, shape and tides on the obliquity of Mercury
- B. Noyelles, Christoph Lhotka
- Physics
- 29 November 2012
Abstract Earth-based radar observations of the rotational dynamics of Mercury (Margot et al., 2012) combined with the determination of its gravity field by MESSENGER (Smith et al., 2012) give clues… Expand
Tilting Styx and Nix but not Uranus with a Spin-Precession-Mean-motion resonance
- A. Quillen, Y. Chen, B. Noyelles, Santiago Loane
- Physics, Medicine
- Celestial mechanics and dynamical astronomy
- 11 July 2017
A Hamiltonian model is constructed for the spin axis of a planet perturbed by a nearby planet with both planets in orbit about a star. We expand the planet–planet gravitational potential perturbation… Expand
Expression of Cassini's third law for Callisto, and theory of its rotation
- B. Noyelles
- Physics
- 1 July 2009
Abstract The rotation of the main natural satellites of the Solar System is widely assumed to be synchronous, because this corresponds to an equilibrium state. In the case of the Moon, 3 laws have… Expand
