Self-Organizing Systems in Planetary Physics: Harmonic Resonances of Planet and Moon Orbits

TL;DR — A Lockheed Martin solar physicist argues that the spacing of planets and moons comes from harmonic orbit resonances.

New Astronomy 58 (2018), 107–123. Aschwanden proposes that harmonic orbit resonances act as a self-organising feedback mechanism that produces the regular planetary spacing described by the empirical Titius–Bode law, and tests the model against Kepler exoplanet data.

What it is: a peer-reviewed paper, though the Titius–Bode law itself is contested. Shared to Reddit as a Google Drive file.
