Domain-specific¶
- Cassini State
- A Cassini state is an equilibrium configuration of a rotating astronomical body's spin relative to a precessing orbit: its spin axis, orbit normal, and the normal to an appropriate orbit-precession reference plane lie in one plane; the spin axis follows the orbit's precession; and the angle between spin and orbit normals equals the equilibrium obliquity selected by the body's torque and precession dynamics.
This source19 support the reference plane, coplanarity, equilibrium obliquity and modeled evolution.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
