Recession of Deimos from Mars: A cosmological interpretation
Leslie A. Kinga)
27 Ivar Gardens, Basingstoke RG24 8YD, United Kingdom
Phobos and Deimos, the two moons of Mars, are believed to have originated in the fragmentation of a primordial body while in a synchronous orbit between 1 and 2.7 109 years ago. The recession of Deimos to its current position is consistent with the hypothesis that cosmological expansion, as described by the Hubble velocity–distance relationship, operates at the local level.
Phobos et Deimos, les deux lunes de Mars, seraient issues de la fragmentation d’un corps primordial alors qu’il se trouvait sur une orbite synchrone il y a entre 1 et 2,7 milliards d’années. La récession de Deimos jusqu'à sa position actuelle est cohérente avec l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'expansion cosmologique, telle que décrite par la relation vitesse-distance de Hubble, s'opère au niveau local.
Key words: Hubble Flow; Local Expansion; Solar System; Martian Moons.
