Stellar and planetary Cassini states
Cassini states correspond to equilibria of the spin axis of a body when its orbit is perturbed. They were initially described for satellites, but the spin axis of stars and planets undergoing strong dissipation can also evolve into some equilibria. For small satellites, the rotational angular moment...
