A MODIFICATION OF GAUSS' METHOD FOR PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF A CELESTIAL BODY'S ORBIT

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
A modification of classical Gauss’ method for determination of Keplerian elements from the observed positions is considered in this paper. The modification involves the exhaustive enumeration of all possible orbital plane positions in order to improve ...

Resultant Force on Grains of a Real Sand Dune: How to Measure It?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 15, 16 August 2025.
Abstract Barchan dunes usually appear under the action of one‐directional fluid flows, being found on Earth, Mars, and other celestial bodies; however, although ubiquitous in nature, understanding dune dynamics at the grain scale is challenging due to the vast number of grains involved.

On Equilibrium Figures of Particle Clouds around the Sun and Stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2015
Equilibrium figures of cold gas-dust (or cometary) clouds are studied in a more general setting than the classical Roche problem. The cloud is considered to be under the influence of gravitational attraction of the central star and the tidal field of the

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of the nΣv Approximation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In kinetic theory, the classic n Σ v approach calculates the rate of particle interactions from local quantities: the number density of particles n , the cross section Σ, and the average relative speed v .

Dynamical Structures Associated with High-Order and Secondary Resonances in the Spin–Orbit Problem

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In our solar system, spin–orbit resonances are common under Sun–planet, planet–satellite, and binary asteroid configurations. In this work, high-order and secondary spin–orbit resonances are investigated by taking numerical and analytical approaches ...

Dynamical Structures under Nonrestricted Hierarchical Planetary Systems with Different Mass Ratios

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Secular dynamics have been extensively studied in both the inner and outer restricted hierarchical three-body systems. In the inner restricted problem, the quadrupole-order resonance (i.e., the well-known Kozai resonance) causes large coupled ...
