Mechanisms for the formation of creeks in tidal flats are rarely discussed in the peer- reviewed literature. Moreover, while there are general theories about how creeks form in tidal flats, there is no data to support these ...

Se realizó una selección de 70 sistemas interactuantes de tipo M51 y se hizo un estudio fotométrico en el infrarrojo cercano, donde se compararon los colores 2MASS de este tipo de sistemas con los de galaxias aisladas. ...

This report is a review of Darwin`s classical theory of bodily tides in which we present the analytical expressions for the orbital and rotational evolution of the bodies and for the energy dissipation rates due to their ...

In the Tropics, continental shelves governed by western boundary currents are considered to be among the least productive ocean margins in the world, unless eddy-induced shelf-edge upwelling becomes significant. The eastern ...

Aims. The aim of this work is to develop a formalism for the study of the secular evolution of a binary system which includes interaction due to the tides that each body imparts on the other. We also consider the influence ...
