Barycenter (Two-body problem)

barycentre; from the Greek βαρύ-ς heavy + κέντρ-ον centre) is the center of mass of two or more bodies that are orbiting each other, or the point around ... more

Circumference of an Ellipse - h component

The quantity h = (a-b)2/(a+b)2 is often used in elliptical circumference calculations e.g in Ramanujan formula for the Circumference of an Ellipse.

Specific Relative Angular Momentum - Elliptical orbit

In celestial mechanics, the specific relative angular momentum (h) of two orbiting bodies is the vector product of the relative position and the relative ... more

Mean Motion

In orbital mechanics, mean motion (represented by ) is a measure of how fast a satellite progresses around its elliptical orbit. The mean motion is the ... more

Free-fall time (Infall of a spherically-symmetric distribution of mass)
