Co-orbital Companions Split Spin-orbit Resonances

Spin-orbit coupling and chaotic rotation for eccentric coorbital bodies

Authors:

Leleu et al

Abstract:

The presence of a co-orbital companion induces the splitting of the well known Keplerian spin-orbit resonances. It leads to chaotic rotation when those resonances overlap.
