Stripping of satellites on prograde and retrograde orbits
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2017
Abstract
We derived a revised expression for the tidal radius, which is a theoretical boundary of a satellite orbiting a host. Our expression properly takes into account possible rotation of the satellite. We verified our predictions against simulations and obtained satisfactory agreement.
