Four Body Resonance What causes
resonances? differential gravity tidal
friction tidal evolution requires a lot of
time They have been orbiting Jupiter for a
very long time. not captured
synchronous rotation
Europa 84 hrs

Io 42 hrs

Ganymede 168 hrs
Callisto 392 hrs

Europa
icy surface high density rocky interior
tidal heating from Io volcanic vents warm
ocean life?
smooth surface liquid ocean
24
Tidal Heating
Io passes Europa. Then they pull the other way.
Moons distorted by differential
gravity. Synchronous Rotation
Stresses on Moons Try to Break Synchronous
Rotation
Io gains on Europa. Gravities become important as
they get closer.
25
Tidal Heating
plasma torus
volcanic activity
magnetic field tilted 10º rotation wobbling
magnet induces electric current
synchrotron radiation deadly levels

three body systems
very complex special three body
systems Lagrange two massive bodies third
body low mass same orbital period
cant just put it 1au from sun suns gravity
Earths gravity always same direction unstable
