Scientific paper

The secular Love number of Phobos has been estimated: ks = 10.4. It deviates only by one order in magnitude from that corresponding to an ideal equilibrium state. It is not in contradiction with the theory of the origin of Phobos as a result of the accretion around Mars. In its early history, the rotation period of Phobos was ≡ 2.4 hours.
