System. The discovery of giant planets orbiting other stars is a formidable opportunity to …

Strong tidal dissipation in Io and Jupiter from astrometric observations

V Lainey, JE Arlot, Ö Karatekin, T Van Hoolst - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Io is the volcanically most active body in the Solar System and has a large surface heat flux,,.
The geological activity is thought to be the result of tides raised by Jupiter, but it is not known …

Resonance locking as the source of rapid tidal migration in the Jupiter and Saturn moon systems
