Scientific paper

We present an adaptation of the Poincare model of core-mantle interaction (Poincare 1910, Touma & Wisdom 2001) to Mercury, in which the planet is seen as composed of a rigid mantle and an elliptical liquid core. Thanks to a Hamiltonian formulation, we perform extensively both an analytical (Lie transforms) and a numerical analysis of this 4-degree of freedom problem. This allows us to highlight a long-term behavior of the obliquity, the consequences of the proximity of a resonance between the spin frequency of Mercury and the free core nutation, and also the influence of the polar flattening of the core.
