Sentences with phrase «tidal effects»

Its mantle deforms elastically due to tidal effects caused by the Moon.

A sizeable moon in retrograde orbit will, once captured, have a strong tidal effect on the primary (Neptune in this case) in such a way as to make the moon's orbit become both smaller and more nearly perpendicular to the primary's equator.

Along the Gulf Coast, the authors say other factors, such as tidal effects and the ongoing subsidence, or sinking, of the land, can play a more important role.

A new study by researchers at UC Santa Cruz shows that most of the moon's overall shape can be explained by taking into account tidal effects acting early in the moon's history.

In the new paper, Garrick - Bethell and his coauthors incorporated other tidal effects into their analysis.

Team member Kurt Retherford, also of the Southwest Research Institute, points out that «the plume variability supports a key prediction that we should see this kind of tidal effect if there is a subsurface ocean on Europa.»

Roger Haagmans, ESA's Swarm mission scientist, explained, «It's astonishing that the team has been able to use just two years» worth of measurements from Swarm to determine the magnetic tidal effect from the ocean and to see how conductivity changes in the lithosphere and upper mantle.

[3] Many of the most internally active bodies in the Solar System, such as the large satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, are subjected to strong tidal effects due to their proximity to the massive planets.

The resilience of the dusty cloud to the extreme gravitational tidal effects so close to the black hole strongly suggest that it surrounds a dense object with a massive core, rather than being a free - floating cloud.

But as the galaxies entangle themselves, strong tidal effects produce new structures — like the chaotic - looking plumes of NGC 5256 — before settling into a stable arrangement after millions of years.

«You get some interesting tidal effects,» he says, but the gliding concept still «looks a little fishy.»

These two features have disastrous consequences as far as their ultimate fate is concerned, because open clusters are not sufficiently gravitationally bound to be able to withstand the disruptive tidal effects in the Galaxy (see star cluster: Open clusters).

I am not happy with the JEV theory (although I can't really judge), because even tidal effects on Earth caused by a relatively large and close Moon only have small, superficial effects.

Graph A is completely different and shows tidal effects on earth that are not subject to planetary precessions and is far more accurate in my opinion of maintaining a more precise longer lasting 60 year period.

Could Jupiter tidal effects somehow control the PDO state?

Tidal effects from the planets do not significantly affect the shape of the Sun, although the Sun itself orbits the center of mass of the solar system, which is located nearly a solar radius away from the center of the Sun mostly because of the large mass of Jupiter.

One possible explanation is tidal effects caused by Earth's gravity, says planetary scientist Francis Nimmo of the University of California, Santa Cruz.

This example of the struggle with vertical mixing includes a hypothesis about tidal effects; recipes for vertical diffusion may be wrong because mixing may actually happen only «in special places»: Munk (1975)(at a 1972 conference).

When it formed from the solar nebula, Venus would have had a much faster, prograde rotation, but calculations show that over billions of years, tidal effects on its dense atmosphere could have slowed down its initial rotation to the value seen today.

Hamers: «Gravity can cause strong tidal effects, just as the moon's gravity causes high and low tide on earth.

He also adds: «The tidal effect on an asteroid, which rapidly rotates under the gravitational field of a planet, can fragment these objects or release large rocks from its surface, which could then become such dangerous projectiles at a local scale as the one fell in Cheliábinsk (Russia) on February 15th 2013.»

Tidal effects and gravitational disturbances from relatively large bodies are required to explain the sharp inner edge of Fomalhaut's debris belt, astronomers believe.

A few million years later, once the debris disk had dissipated, the tidal effects of Mars brought most of these satellites back down onto the planet, including the very large moon.

Since a thinner ice shell retains less heat, the tidal effects caused by Saturn on the large fractures in the ice at the south pole are no longer enough to explain the strong heat flow affecting this region.

However, the discovery in 2015 of an oscillation in Enceladus's rotation known as a libration, which is linked to tidal effects, suggests that it has a global ocean and a much thinner ice shell than predicted, with a mean thickness of around 20 km.

«The tidal effect on an asteroid, which rapidly rotates under the gravitational field of a planet, can fragment these objects or release large rocks from its surface, which could then become dangerous projectiles at a local scale, such as the one that fell in Chelyabinsk, Russia,» Trigo - Rodríguez said in a statement.

The tidal effect, as it's called, is probably why astronomers have not been finding more hot Jupiters practically grazing the outer atmospheres of their stars.

While the new study shows that tidal effects can account for the overall shape of the moon, tidal processes don't explain the topographical differences between the near side and the far side.

Since the tidal effect is strongest when the moon is closest to the primary, it also tends to make the orbit more circular.

The dwarf elliptical galaxy SagDEG in the direction of the Milky Way's center is stretched and distorted from the tidal effects of the Milky Way's strong gravity.

«There are several factors, like star variability and tidal effects, that make these planets different from Earth - sized planets around Sun - like stars.»

They form when a planet's gravity captures material from a passing asteroid or material expelled from a nearby moon — by a volcano, a geyser, tidal effects, or the impact of a comet or meteorite.c Debris that escapes a moon or asteroid because of its weak gravity and the giant planet's gigantic gravity then orbits that planet as a ring.

Jupiter has a few moons large enough to be hit frequently by meteoroids or comets, small enough to have little gravity so debris can escape the moon, and close enough to Jupiter that tidal effects can spread the moon's debris into rings.

Most globular clusters are highly concentrated at their centres, having stellar distributions that resemble isothermal gas spheres with a cutoff that corresponds to the tidal effects of the Galaxy.
