THE INFLUENCE OF THE LAPLACIAN COMMENSURABILITY OVER A MOTION LIKE THE THREE FIRST GALILEAN SATELLITES OF JUPITER

Roberto Artur Cornetti SILVA[1]

§    ABSTRACT: This paper identifies a constraint between the variables associated with the Laplacian critical angle in the model developed by SILVA (1986). This constraint justifies why the solution of the Hori’s auxiliary system (SILVA, 1986) does not give a better understanding about these variables.

§    KEYWORDS: Laplacian resonance; galilean satellites of Jupiter.
