A high-angular momentum giant impact with the Earth can produce a Moon with a silicate isotopic composition nearly identical to that of Earths mantle, consistent with observations of terrestrial and lunar rocks. However, such an event requires subsequent angular momentum removal for consistency with the current Earth-Moon system. The early Moon may have been captured into the evection resonance, occurring when the lunar perigee precession period equals one year. It has been proposed that after a high-angular momentum giant impact, evection removed the angular momentum excess from the Earth-Moon pair and transferred it to Earths orbit about the Sun. However, prior N-body integrations suggest this result depends on the tidal model and chosen tidal parameters. Here we examine the Moons encounter with evection using a complementary analytic description and the Mignard tidal model. While the Moon is in resonance the lunar longitude of perigee librates, and if tidal evolution excites the libration amplitude sufficiently, escape from resonance occurs. The angular momentum drain produced by formal evection depends on how long the resonance is maintained. We estimate that resonant escape occurs early, leading to only a small reduction (~few to 10%) in the Earth-Moon system angular momentum. Moon formation from a high-angular momentum impact would then require other angular momentum removal mechanisms beyond standard libration in evection, as have been suggested previously.

Forming the Moon by a high-angular momentum impact may explain the Earth-Moon isotopic similarities, however, the post-impact angular momentum needs to be reduced by a factor of 2 or more to the current value (1 L_EM) after the Moon forms. Capture in
to the evection resonance, occurring when the lunar perigee precession period equals one year, could remove the angular momentum excess. However the appropriate angular momentum removal appears sensitive to the tidal model and chosen tidal parameters. In this work, we use a constant-time delay tidal model to explore the Moons orbital evolution through evection. We find that exit from formal evection occurs early and that subsequently, the Moon enters a quasi-resonance regime, in which evection still regulates the lunar eccentricity even though the resonance angle is no longer librating. Although not in resonance proper, during quasi-resonance angular momentum is continuously removed from the Earth-Moon system and transferred to Earths heliocentric orbit. The final angular momentum, set by the timing of quasi-resonance escape, is a function of the ratio of tidal strength in the Moon and Earth and the absolute rate of tidal dissipation in the Earth. We consider a physically-motivated model for tidal dissipation in the Earth as the mantle cools from a molten to a partially molten state. We find that as the mantle solidifies, increased terrestrial dissipation drives the Moon out of quasi-resonance. For post-impact systems that contain >2 L_EM, final angular momentum values after quasi-resonance escape remain significantly higher than the current Earth-Moon value.
The stability of satellites in the solar system is affected by the so-called evection resonance. The moons of Saturn, in particular, exhibit a complex dynamical architecture in which co-orbital configurations occur, especially close to the planet whe
re this resonance is present. We address the dynamics of the evection resonance, with particular focus on the Saturn system, and compare the known behavior of the resonance for a single moon to that of a pair of moons in co-orbital trojan configuration. We developed an analytic expansion of the averaged Hamiltonian of a trojan pair of bodies, including the perturbation from a distant massive body. {The analysis of the corresponding equilibrium points was restricted to the asymmetric apsidal corotation solution of the co-orbital dynamics.} We also performed numerical N-body simulations to construct dynamical maps of the stability of the evection resonance in the Saturn system, and to study the effects of this resonance under the migration of trojan moons caused by tidal dissipation. The structure of the phase space of the evection resonance for trojan satellites is similar to that of a single satellite, differing in that the libration centers are displaced from their standard positions by an angle that depends on the periastron difference $varpi_2-varpi_1$ and on the mass ratio $m_2/m_1$ of the trojan pair. The interaction with the inner evection resonance may have been relevant during the early evolution of the Saturn moons Tethys, Dione, and Rhea. In particular, Rhea may have had trojan companions in the past that were lost when it crossed the evection resonance, while Tethys and Dione may either have retained their trojans or have never crossed the evection. This may help to constrain the dynamical processes that led to the migration of these satellites and to the evection itself.
We build a conceptual coupled model of the climate and tidal evolution of the Earth-Moon system to find the influence of the former on the latter. An energy balance model is applied to calculate steady-state temperature field from the mean annual ins
olation as a function of varying astronomical parameters. A harmonic oscillator model is applied to integrate the lunar orbit and Earths rotation with the tidal torque dependent on the dominant natural frequency of ocean. An ocean geometry acts as a bridge between temperature and oceanic frequency. On assumptions of a fixed hemispherical continent and an equatorial circular lunar orbit, considering only the 41 kyr periodicity of Earths obliquity $varepsilon$ and the $M_2$ tide, simulations are performed near tidal resonance for $10^6$ yr. It is verified that the climate can influence the tidal evolution via ocean. Compared with the tidal evolution with constant $varepsilon$, that with varying $varepsilon$ is slowed down; the Earth-Moon distance oscillates in phase with $varepsilon$ before the resonance maximum but exactly out of phase after that; the displacement of the oscillation is in positive correlation with the difference between oceanic frequency and tidal frequency.
The multiple-planet systems discovered by the Kepler mission show an excess of planet pairs with period ratios just wide of exact commensurability for first-order resonances like 2:1 and 3:2. In principle, these planet pairs could have both resonance
angles associated with the resonance librating if the orbital eccentricities are sufficiently small, because the width of first-order resonances diverges in the limit of vanishingly small eccentricity. We consider a widely-held scenario in which pairs of planets were captured into first-order resonances by migration due to planet-disk interactions, and subsequently became detached from the resonances, due to tidal dissipation in the planets. In the context of this scenario, we find a constraint on the ratio of the planets tidal dissipation function and Love number that implies that some of the Kepler planets are likely solid. However, tides are not strong enough to move many of the planet pairs to the observed separations, suggesting that additional dissipative processes are at play.
A large fraction of known exoplanets have short orbital periods where tidal excitation of gravity waves within the host star causes the planets orbits to decay. We study the effects of tidal resonance locking, in which the planet locks into resonance
with a tidally excited stellar gravity mode. Because a stars gravity mode frequencies typically increase as the star evolves, the planets orbital frequency increases in lockstep, potentially causing much faster orbital decay than predicted by other tidal theories. Due to nonlinear mode damping, resonance locking in Sun-like stars likely only operates for low-mass planets ($M lesssim 0.1 , M_{rm Jup}$), but in stars with convective cores it can likely operate for all planetary masses. The orbital decay timescale with resonance locking is typically comparable to the stars main-sequence lifetime, corresponding to a wide range in effective stellar quality factor ($10^3 lesssim Q lesssim 10^9$), depending on the planets mass and orbital period. We make predictions for several individual systems and examine the orbital evolution resulting from both resonance locking and nonlinear wave dissipation. Our models demonstrate how short-period massive planets can be quickly destroyed by nonlinear mode damping, while short-period low-mass planets can survive, even though they undergo substantial inward tidal migration via resonance locking.
