Abstract
⺠We propose a mechanism for the observed non-keplerian motion of “propeller” moons. ⺠“Type I” angular momentum exchange can lead to an equilibrium semimajor axis for the moon. ⺠Our mechanism provides a good fit to the observations. ⺠Future observations should distinguish between our model and others recently proposed.
