Hi, I’m a bit confused about the definitions of corotational and Lindblad resonances. They’re given by;
Corotational resonance
This resonance occurs when the orbit moves at the same angular speed as the forcing.
Lindblad resonance
an orbital resonance in which an object's epicyclic frequency is a simple multiple of some forcing frequency.
I cannot seem to grasp these concepts when applying it to a ring particle and a satellite. What’s the difference between an orbital and corotational resonance? I’m also having difficulty understanding how inner and outer Lindblad resonances work too.
