We provide an analytical approximation to the dynamics in each of the three most important low order secondary resonances (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) bifurcating from the synchronous primary resonance in the gravitational spin-orbit problem.

Applications include the characterization of spin states of irregular planetary satellites or double systems of minor bodies with irregular shapes. The key ingredients of our method are: i) The use of a detuning parameter measuring the distance from the exact resonance, and ii) an efficient scheme to ‘book-keep’ the series terms, which allows to simultaneously treat all small parameters entering the problem. Explicit formulas are provided for each secondary resonance, yielding i) the time evolution of the spin state, ii) the form of phase portraits, iii) initial conditions and stability for periodic solutions, and iv) bifurcation diagrams associated with the periodic orbits. We give also error estimates of the method, based on analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the remainder of the normal form series.

Abstract
We provide an analytical approximation to the dynamics in each of the three most important low order secondary resonances (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) bifurcating from the synchronous primary resonance in the gravitational spin-orbit problem. To this end we extend the perturbative approach introduced in [10], based on normal form series computations. This allows to recover analytically all non-trivial features of the phase space topology and bifurcations associated with these resonances. Applications include the characterization of spin states of irregular planetary satellites or double systems of minor bodies with irregular shapes. The key ingredients of our method are: i) The use of a detuning parameter measuring the distance from the exact resonance, and ii) an efficient scheme to ‘book-keep’ the series terms, which allows to simultaneously treat all small parameters entering the problem. Explicit formulas are provided for each secondary resonance, yielding i) the time evolution of the spin state, ii) the form of phase portraits, iii) initial conditions and stability for periodic solutions, and iv) bifurcation diagrams associated with the periodic orbits. We give also error estimates of the method, based on analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the remainder of the normal form series.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
