contents Deformations of skyrmions arising from the presence of more than one magnetic sublattice lead to their massive dynamics in ferrimagnets as compared to the massless dynamics in 2D ferromagnets. This results in the gyroscopic motion of skyrmions, which manifests as skyrmion cyclotron resonance that can be excited by microwaves or spin currents. We investigate analytically and numerically the motion and resonant oscillations of individual skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in the presence of dissipation in a two-sublattice transition-metal -- rare-earth (TM/RE) system. The focus is on the dependence of the skyrmion dynamics on the RE concentration. Parameters of the CoGd ferrimagnet are utilized in the numerical work. The massive dynamics of skyrmions in ferrimagnets, as well as the spectrum of their excitations, undergo significant changes near the angular momentum compensation point, which should not be difficult to detect in experiments.
