Example of a successful capture of the spin axis of Alice in the Slivan state. The simulation assumed an initial rotation period of 3 h, the pole location at nearly zero obliquity, and Δ = 0.3464. For the sake of simplicity, the orbital evolution is represented by a numerical simulation of Alice from the current epoch. Each of the four panels shows a selected evolution of the pole in the 10 Myr duration window projected onto the frame associated with the s6 Fourier term in the orbital ζ: the leftmost panel shows the situation at the beginning of the simulation, the rightmost panel shows the situation at the end of the simulation. The top label also indicates the mean rotation period in the 10 Myr interval shown.
