土卫一的自转

The rotation of Mimas

Benoît Noyelles, Özgür Karatekin, Nicolas Rambaux

摘要:

卡西尼号在土星系统的任务是一个极好的机会,以提高我们对土星卫星的知识。由于这一任务获得的数据必须面对理论模型。本文旨在模拟土卫一的旋转,就其可能的内部结构。为此,我们首先建立不同的内部模型,考虑土卫一由2个具有不同孔隙度的刚性层组成。然后,我们模拟这些模型的旋转行为的3度自由度的数值代码,在考虑完整的星历表的土卫一的旋转受到土星的干扰。我们还估计了它的纵向取向的偏差,由于潮汐。我们预计,在纵向振动中,内部结构的特征可达0.53°,并且曲率在2到3弧分之间,确切的值取决于内部。纵向振动应该是可以探测到的,但要通过反转它们来获得关于土卫一内部结构的线索是一项挑战。

英文摘要:

The Cassini mission in the Saturnian system is an outstanding opportunity to improve our knowledge of the satellites of Saturn. The data obtained thanks to this mission must be confronted to theoretical models. This paper aims at modeling the rotation of Mimas, with respect to its possible internal structure. For that, we first build different interior models, in considering Mimas as composed of 2 rigid layers with different porosity. Then we simulate the rotational behavior of these models in a 3-degree of freedom numerical code, in considering complete ephemerides of a Mimas whose rotation is disturbed by Saturn. We also estimate the deviation of its longitudinal orientation due to tides. We expect a signature of the internal structure up to 0.53° in the longitudinal librations and an obliquity between 2 and 3 arcmin, the exact values depending on the interior. The longitudinal librations should be detectable, inverting them to get clues on the internal structure of Mimas is challenging.
