The triaxiality role in the spin-orbit dynamics of a rigid body

A Cantero, F Crespo, S Ferrer - Applied Mathematics and Nonlinear …, 2018 - sciendo.com
We study the roto-orbital dynamics of a uniform sphere and a triaxial body by means of a
radial intermediary, which defines a 2-DOF Hamiltonian system. Our analysis is carried out …
