Those moons don't sit right with me. They're within the Roche limit, that much is clear, but they appear to be in geosynch orbit, meaning they go around mars once per Mars day. Which means they can't be in orbit, they are just hovering. Deimos seems to be tidally locked, but Phobos was taken out of its normal rotation and orbit to be put closer to Mars, but they didn't put it back in synchronous rotation.
What is even happening there? What is powering the massive energy required to keep these moons up?
