Surprising Spin–Orbit Resonances of Rocky Planets

Recent works suggest that, in multiplanetary systems, a close-in exoplanet can sometimes avoid becoming tidally locked to its host star if it is captured into a secular spin–orbit resonance with a companion planet. In such a resonance, the planet remains at a subsynchronous spin rate and an apprecia...
