A Re-Consideration of the Evolution Hypothesis of the Origin of the Resonances Among Saturn's Satellites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The hypothesis that the origin of the resonances among Saturn's satellites is due to orbital evolution is critically reviewed. It is concluded that the hypothesis provides a plausible explanation of the origin of the Mimas-Tethys resonance, but it is unsatisfactory for Bnceladus-Dione, since their resonance is having little effect on the relative evolution rate of these satellites at present.
