On the orbital evolution of the Martian satellites
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1979 The tidal evolution of the Martian satellites has been investigated, and it is found that tides raised by the planet on the satellite can have significant consequences if the rigidity of the satellites is much less than the average rigidity of Mars. This would be the case if the satellites have a carbonaceous chondritic composition. Frequency dependent

History of telescopic observations of the Martian satellites
Planetary and Space Science, 2014 Abstract This article intends to review the different studies of the Mars satellites Phobos and Deimos realized by means of ground-based telescopic observations as well in the astrometry and dynamics domain as in the physical one. This study spans the first period of investigations of the Martian satellites since their discovery in 1877 through the ...

A thermal model of the Martian satellites
Icarus, 1989Abstract A thermal model of the Martian satellites is developed that takes into account their ellipsoidal shape, eclipse effects, the temperature dependence of the heat conduction coefficient, and the reflected and thermal radiation of Mars. Results for the diurnal temperature behavior of Phobos and Deimos for different latitudes, longitudes, and ...

Numerical Simulation of the Motion of Martian Satellites
, 2001 The numerical long-term prediction of the satellite motion is very laborious. This is mainly because the high rate of the change of the right member functions of the classical equation of motion results in a small step in numerical integration and, in turn, in a rapid accumulation of the round-off errors.

Photometric properties of the Martian satellites
Icarus, 1974New photoelectric observations yield V(1, alpha) equals 12.95 + 0.036 alpha + or - 0.05, B-V equals 0.65 + or - 0.03, and U-B equals 0.18 + or - 0.03 for Deimos and V(1, 0) equals 11.9 + or - 0.2 for Phobos. The derived geometric albedos of both satellites are near 0.065.

Martian satellite orbits and ephemerides
Planetary and Space Science, 2014Abstract We discuss the general characteristics of the orbits of the Martian satellites, Phobos and Deimos. We provide a concise review of the various descriptions of the orbits by both analytical theories and direct numerical integrations of their equations of motion.

Models for the Origin of the Current Martian Satellites
, 2020 The origin of the two small prograde natural satellites of Mars may, or may not, be important in deciphering the early history of planet Mars. There have been many proposals for the origin of Phobos and Deimos but there is no generally accepted model for their origin.

Orbital history of the Martian satellites with inferences on their origin
Icarus, 1980Abstract Recent Viking results indicate the Martian satellites are composed of carbonaceous chondritic material, suggesting that Phobos and Deimos were once asteroids captured by Mars. On the other hand, the low eccentricities and inclinations of their orbits on the equator of Mars argue against that hypothesis.

Orbital evolution and origin of the Martian satellites
Icarus, 1983Abstract The role of tidal dissipation within the Martian satellite system is examined through orbital evolution integrations and assessed in the context of its origin scenario through calculations of collision probabilities between Phobos and Deimos in the distant past.
