In the context of astrophysical modeling at the solar system scale, we investigate the modalities implied by taking into account different levels of detail at which phenomena can be considered. In particular, by framing the analysis in terms of the how-possibly/how-actually distinction, we address the debated question as to whether the degree of plausibility is tightly linked to the degree of detail. On the grounds of concrete examples, we argue that, also in the astrophysical context examined, this is not necessarily the case.

天体物理建模中的嵌套模态

在太阳系尺度的天体物理学建模的背景下，我们通过考虑可以考虑现象的不同细节层次来研究隐含的模式。特别是，通过根据如何可能/实际如何区分来构建分析，我们解决了关于可信度是否与细节度紧密相关的争论性问题。根据具体例子，我们认为，在所研究的天体物理学背景下，情况也不一定如此。
