摘要
Titan longitudinal librations are dependent on the satellite internal structure and the elastic behavior of the surface. The elastic deformation of the surface is related to the perturbing potential through the Love theory. In a previous paper, we described the deformation as a response to the tidal potential exerted by Saturn at orbital frequency. Here we improve the tidal deformation reponse by including the effect of the libration angle and the orbital perturbations. We then provide the libration amplitudes associated with the rotational model of a tidally deformed three-layer Titan evolving on a non-Keplerian orbit.
