spin-orbit coupling
  جفسری ِ اسپین-مدار، جفتش ِ ~   
jafsari-ye espin-madâr, jofteš-e ~

Fr.: couplage spin-orbite   

1) Astro.: A relationship between the orbital period of one body around another and its rotational period on its axis. The relationship results from tidal forces between the two bodies. For example, the rotation period of the Moon equals its revolution period around the Earth.
2) Quantum mechanics: The interaction between a particle's → spin angular momentum and its → orbital angular momentum.

spin; → orbit; → coupling.

stationary orbit
  مدار ِ ایست‌ور   
madâr-e istvar

Fr.: orbite stationnaire   

An orbit in which the satellite revolves about the primary at the angular rate at which the primary rotates on its axis. From the primary, the satellite thus appears to be stationary over a point on the primary.

stationary; → orbit.

synchronous orbit
  مدار ِ همگام   
madâr-e hamgâm

Fr.: orbite synchrone   

synchronous rotation.

synchronous; → orbit.

tadpole orbit
  مدار ِ وگیزی   
madâr-e vagizi

Fr.: orbite en forme de têtard   

A shorter → horseshoe orbit confined to the → Lagrangian points L4 or L5.

tadpole; → orbit.
