The difference in the angular velocity vectors of geodetic rotation is shown depending on the choice of reference frame. Thus, the absolute value of the angular velocity vector of the geodetic rotation of the satellite under study relative to the barycenter of the Solar System will not coincide with the absolute value of a similar vector of the satellite under study relative to the barycenter of the planet’s satellite system. As a result, the most significant secular and periodic terms of geodetic rotation were determined for the first time: a) of Jupiter and its Galilean satellites in terms of the Euler angles, in the perturbing terms of physical libration and in the absolute value of the angular rotation vector of the geodetic rotation of the body under study relative to the barycenter of the Solar System and the plane of the mean orbit of Jupiter of the epoch J2000.0; b) of Galilean satellites of Jupiter in the perturbing terms of physical libration and the absolute value of the angular rotation vector of the geodetic rotation of the studied body relative to the barycenter of the Galilean satellite system of Jupiter and the mean orbit plane of the studied Galilean satellite of the epoch J2000.0. The obtained analytical values of the geodetic rotation of the studied objects can be used for a numerical study of their rotation in the relativistic approximation, and also used to evaluate the influence of relativistic effects on the orbital–rotational dynamics of bodies of exoplanetary systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":778,"journal":{"name":"Solar System Research","volume":"58 1","pages":"122 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This crater belongs to the Dawes morphological type, which is characterized by a generally flattened, and in detail uneven, hilly-ridge bottom surface. The crater under study has a fractured bottom, which is considered a sign of magma intrusion into the subcrater space. Cracks in the bottom material are represented by hollows from 2 to 10 km long, 0.3–1 km wide and 50–150 m deep. The LROCNAC images show that in the hilly-ridge areas of the bottom the regolith surface has a “wrinkled” texture, and in the subhorizontal areas it is smooth. On one of the sections of the bottom there is a 700-meter crater, the rim of which touches one of the hollows. Judging by the morphology of this crater and the absence of meter-sized stones on its shaft, it was formed in the range of (200–300) million to 1 billion years ago, while the age of the studied 34-kilometer crater is estimated from the density of small craters superimposed on its rim as 3.83 (+0.025; –0.031) billion years. The age of the surface material of the deformed bottom of the crater under study is in the range of (200–300) million to 1 billion years. Probably, the fracturing of the bottom (formation of hollows) was caused by the penetration of an intrusive body or bodies into the subcrater space during the Copernican or early Eratosthenesian periods of the geological history of the Moon.

These craters are located in Mare Serenitatis, Mare Crisium, and Mare Fecunditatis, as well as in the continental terrain of Montes Apenninus. The craters were formed in three types of targets: (1) two-layered (continent, overlaid by a mare), (2) single-layered mare, and (3) single-layered continent. The topographic configuration was established for each crater, and the frequency–size distribution of overlapping craters on the walls and in the continuous ejecta zone was determined. The age of the craters was estimated (from 0.31 to 3.83 Gyr) based on the crater density in the ejecta zone. Comparing this density with the density on the walls allowed us to estimate the rate of slope processes. The rate of slope processes (<i>E</i>, mm/Myr) on the Moon is nonlinear and described by a power-law function <i>Е</i> = 4.39<i>А</i><sup>–1.03</sup>, where <i>А</i> is the age (Gyr). The estimated rates of slope processes in our study range from ~17 mm/Myr for the youngest crater to ~0.8 mm/Myr for the oldest crater.

The difficulties of entering photographs into electronic computers (computers) of that time are shown.

The microcatalogs are combined into the “Basic Star Catalog,” which in the near future will be used to compile onboard star catalogs for the orientation sensors of the BOKZ family of spacecraft. To work with the base catalog, two programs have been developed and are used in test mode: Catalog Guide and Star Manager. The first program is designed to view the base catalog, visualize its fragments and compile lists of stars with specified parameters. The second program is of a computational and analytical nature. It contains mathematical models of star orientation sensors of the BOKZ family, as well as a mathematical apparatus that allows for detailed modeling of the most subtle elements of onboard data processing.
