摘要: Abstract The history of Mercury's spin angular momentum is reviewed, and it shown that the current nonsynchronous but resonant nearly zero obliquity place almost no restrictions on primordial state. only exception comes about from a liquid core-solid mantle interaction which excludes slow concurrent with large obliquity. occupancy final evolutionary state leads to description scheme by we can determine extent currently Mercurian core.
