Lindblad resonance refers to a phenomenon in astrophysics and celestial mechanics, particularly in the context of orbital dynamics in disks, such as those found in galaxies or around planetary systems. It describes a specific type of resonance that occurs when the orbital frequency of a body, such as a planet or moon, matches a certain integer multiple of the orbital frequency of density waves or other perturbations in the surrounding disk.
