Updating a simple model of lunar recession [PDF]
Applied Mathematical Sciences, Vol. 11, no. 58, 2877 - 2905 (2017), 2018 A classical model of lunar recession is reviewed and updated, where input parameters are taken or inferred from earlier astronomical computation of insolation quantities on Earth back to 0.25 Gyr. Free parameters are (i) the transition age, where mean lunar recession is suddenly lowered, and (ii) the merging age, where Earth-Moon distance (EMD), drops ...
