Resonances
« on: June 20, 2011, 07:39:15 PM »
Resonances occur when a bigger planet has influence over a smaller body, where objects with orbits that you would thing could collide (same inclination), they in fact, cannot. Iwas just messing around, and I got this neat 2:1 resonance of Earth with a Jupiter. The Earth orbits once for every two orbits of Jupiter.

Shift + F can be used to find resonances with a rotating from to the selected body and it's parent.

One is a planet far out on a crazy eccentric orbit... There are some errors and some that I have no idea where they came from...

The kidney bean shape means it's in a 1:1 resonance (and of course if the object is on an orbit, it is on the orbit with itself), and the 2 lobed shape means that it's orbiting 2 times! omg!

The frame spins fast. This causes objects not within around 2-3 SMAs of the object your rotating frame is to, to be spun around so quick that US's trail segments aren't updating quick enough. US believes that the object is going slow, so it updates every time it deems necessary to make a nice curved line (not that often). 

(or at least that's my hypothesis)

The blue orbit looks oils a magnetic field.

I'd like to add that resonances can also occur between objects of similar mass, such as in the Io-Europa-Ganymede laplace resonance.

Yes, but usually it's a bigger-smaller that I think are more interesting.

can someone clarify this for me? Something about objects colliding but they don't ???

The crazy far out straight line trails are a bug with the Rotating Frame feature (Shift+F) that I've never fixed. Someday. :)
