Named in honor of Charles F. Yoder (1943– ), of Los Angeles, California. Yoder developed the first analysis of capture into orbit-orbit mean-motion resonances among the satellites of the giant planets, as well as the explanation of the origin and evolution of the three-body Laplacian orbital resonance among the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. He has connected the variations of the rotation of the earth with properties of the core and of the core-mantle interface, found evidence for the dissipative effects of a possible fluid core-solid mantle interaction for the moon and put constraints on the core of Venus and Venus’ rotational history required by Venus’ obliquity.
