Tidal Dissipation in Giant Planets [PDF]
Space Science ReviewsAbstractTidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins, and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system, tidal dissipation in the planet transfers angular momentum from Saturn to the moons, causing them to migrate outwards.

Strong Tidal Dissipation at Uranus?
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Geophysical estimates of paleo heat fluxes on the Uranian moons Miranda and Ariel are in the range of 25–75 mW m ^−2 . For a canonical Uranus dissipation factor Q = 18,000, expected equilibrium tidal heating rates for these satellites are less than 6 mW ...

Anelastic Tidal Dissipation in Multi-Layer Planets [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractEarth-like planets have anelastic mantles, whereas giant planets may have anelastic cores. As for the fluid parts, the tidal dissipation of these regions, gravitationally perturbed by a companion, highly depends on its internal friction and thus its internal structure.

Icarus, 1995 Abstract Tidal dissipation may constrain the nature of the surface and interior of Titan. Provided the surface of Titan is covered by satellite-wide hydrocarbon seas and oceans, the solid body of Titan would have to respond not only to the external tidal disturbance potential but also to the loading and shifting weights of liquids on the surface.

Glacial AMOC shoaling despite vigorous tidal dissipation: vertical stratification matters [PDF]
Climate of the PastDuring the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), tidal dissipation was about 3-fold higher than today, which could have led to a considerable increase in vertical mixing.

Tidal Deformation and Dissipation Processes in Icy Worlds. [PDF]
Space Sci RevAbstract Tidal interactions play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of icy worlds. The intense tectonic activity of Europa and the eruption activity on Enceladus are clear examples of the manifestation of tidal deformation and associated dissipation. While tidal heating has long been recognized as a major driver in the activity of these

Origin and Evolution of Enceladus's Tidal Dissipation. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2023 Abstract Enceladus possesses a subsurface ocean beneath a conductive ice shell. Based on shell thickness models, the estimated total conductive heat loss from Enceladus is 25–40 GW; the measured heat output from the South Polar Terrain (SPT) is 4–19 GW. The present-day SPT heat flux is of order

Lateral melt variations induce shift in Io’s peak tidal heating [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe innermost Galilean moon, Io, exhibits widespread tidally-driven volcanism. Monitoring of its volcanoes has revealed that they are not homogeneously distributed across its surface: volcanic activity is higher at low latitudes and peaks east of the sub-

Tidal dissipation of binaries in asteroid pairs [PDF]
IcarusTidal dissipation in a celestial body can be used to probe its internal structure. Tides govern the orbital evolution of binary systems and therefore constraints on the interior of binary system members can be derived by knowing the age and tidal state of the binary system.

EMPIRICAL TIDAL DISSIPATION IN EXOPLANET HOSTS FROM TIDAL SPIN-UP. [PDF]
Astron J, 2018 Abstract Stars with hot Jupiters (HJs) tend to rotate faster than other stars of the same age and mass. This trend has been attributed to tidal interactions between the star and planet. A constraint on the dissipation parameter follows from the assumption that tides have ...
