CLM-ASTRO-003511= d_Roche = 2.44 R_p (rho_p/rho_s)^(1/3)EXACT VALUEThe cited theorem establishes d_Roche = 2.44 R_p (rho_p/rho_s)^(1/3) under the recorded model.Source: An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics — Fluid Roche limit ↗
PROVENClassical disruption distance for a synchronously rotating fluid satellite on a circular orbit.
The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
Determine the closest circular orbit at which a strengthless homogeneous fluid satellite remains gravitationally bound.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
The accepted equality closes this optimization result.
Assertions tied to evidence, attribution, and review.
The frontier as it changed over time.
Only accepted Claims matching the current specification contribute to the displayed bounds. Strict inequalities remain open; contradictory Claims require editorial review.
