Title:  The spin-orbit resonances of the Solar system: A mathematical 
treatment matching physical data

Abstract: In the mathematical framework of a restricted, slightly 
dissipative spin-orbit model, we prove the existence of
periodic orbits for astronomical parameter values corresponding to all 
satellites of the Solar system observed
in exact spin-orbit resonance. Estimates on the measure of the basins of 
attraction of stable periodic orbits are discussed.
Joint work with F.Antognini (ETH) and L. Chierchia (Roma Tre).
