Evolution of Mean Orbital Spacing in Planetary and Satellite Systems under Tidal Dissipation and Nebular Drag

2026-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The approximately geometric spacing of orbital distances in planetary and regular satellite systems has long been recognized, yet its dynamical evolution remains poorly constrained. In this paper, we investigate the secular evolution of the mean distance ratio of secondaries under the combined effects of primary tidal dissipation and nebular gas drag. A general analytical framework is d...
