Physics

Scientific paper

We develop a numerical tool which couples satellite thermal and orbital evolution. The thermal evolution is based on 1D conductive code while the orbital evolution uses an N-body approach. As a first example we study the evolution of Enceladus and Dione. Our preliminary results show that their eccentricity evolution is different from a case using constant tidal parameters.
