  2. Eccentric anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_anomaly

    The true anomaly is the angle labeled in the figure, located at the focus of the ellipse. It is sometimes represented by f or v. The true anomaly and the eccentric anomaly are related as follows. [2] Using the formula for r above, the sine and cosine of E are found in terms of f :

    On the computation of the eccentric anomaly, equation of the centre and radius vector of a planet, in terms of the mean anomaly and eccentricity. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 43, p. 345. Gives the equation of the center to order e 12. Morrison, J. (1883). Errata.

  4. Mean anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_anomaly

    where M 0 is the mean anomaly at the epoch t 0, which may or may not coincide with τ, the time of pericenter passage. The classical method of finding the position of an object in an elliptical orbit from a set of orbital elements is to calculate the mean anomaly by this equation, and then to solve Kepler's equation for the eccentric anomaly.

  5. BRST quantization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRST_quantization

    BRST quantization is a differential geometric approach to performing consistent, anomaly-free perturbative calculations in a non-abelian gauge theory. The analytical form of the BRST "transformation" and its relevance to renormalization and anomaly cancellation were described by Carlo Maria Becchi, Alain Rouet, and Raymond Stora in a series of papers culminating in the 1976 "Renormalization of ...

  6. Orbital elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_elements

    Unlike with mean anomaly, mean longitude is defined relative to the vernal point, which means it is defined for circular orbits. Eccentric anomaly at epoch (E 0) — the eccentric anomaly at the epoch time. Eccentric anomaly is defined at the angular displacement along the auxiliary circle of the ellipse (circle tangent to the ellipse both at ...

  7. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    where M is the mean anomaly, E is the eccentric anomaly, and is the eccentricity. With Kepler's formula, finding the time-of-flight to reach an angle (true anomaly) of from periapsis is broken into two steps: Compute the eccentric anomaly from true anomaly

  8. Kepler's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler's_equation

    As for instance, if the body passes the periastron at coordinates = (), =, at time =, then to find out the position of the body at any time, you first calculate the mean anomaly from the time and the mean motion by the formula = (), then solve the Kepler equation above to get , then get the coordinates from:

  9. Bundle metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_metric

    That is, E is the vector bundle that consists of the vertical subspace of the tangent of the principal bundle. More generally, whenever one has a compact group with Haar measure μ, and an arbitrary inner product h(X,Y) defined at the tangent space of some point in G , one can define an invariant metric simply by averaging over the entire group ...
