Relative geometrical contribution of each tidal component of degree l = 2 in the evolution of the semi-major axis (Eq. (27); top panel) and the obliquity (Eq. (30)) as a function of the instantaneous value of the obliquity for m = 0 (red), m = 1 (green), and m = 2 (blue); p = 0 (solid), p = 1 (dot-dashed), and p = 2 (dashed). For the obliquity (bottom panel), the relative contribution of each component depends on the orbital-to-spin angular momentum magnitude ratio, here taken for illustration purposes at 0.5. Those factors do not include the factor, so they do not contain information about the relative dissipation efficiencies of the different components for orbital evolution.
