A Secular Solar System Resonance that Disrupts the Dominant Cycle in Earth’s Orbital Eccentricity (g 2 − g 5): Implications for Astrochronology
The planets’ gravitational interaction causes rhythmic changes in Earth’s orbital parameters (also called Milanković cycles), which have powerful applications in geology and astrochronology. For instance, the primary astronomical eccentricity cycle due to the secular frequency term ( g _2 − g _5 ) (...
