Circular Orbits Inside the Sphere of Death
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wheel or sphere rolling without slipping on the inside of a sphere in a uniform gravitational field can have stable circular orbits that lie wholly above the “equator”, while a particle sliding freely cannot.

Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem
Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the planet’s gravitation dominates solar perturbations (the Hill sphere). This mechanism requires a source of dissipation, such as gas-drag, in order to make capture permanent. However, capture by gas-drag requires that parti...
متن کاملOrbit Spaces Arising from Isometric Actions on Hyperbolic Spaces
Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology. Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of on . If is a differentiable manifold of cohomogeneity one under the action of a compact and connected Lie group, then the orbit space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces , , or . In this paper we suppo...
متن کاملFormation of Binaries at a Stage of Rarefied Preplanetesimals
Introduction: Last years, new arguments in favor of the model of rarefied preplanetesimals-clumps were found (e.g., [1-3]). Even before new arguments in favor of formation of planetesimals from rarefied pre-planetesimals have been found, Ipatov [4-5] considered that some trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), planetesi-mals, and asteroids with diameter d>100 km could be formed directly by the compress...
متن کاملProduction of trans-Neptunian binaries through chaos-assisted capture
The recent discovery of binary objects in the Kuiper Belt opens an invaluable window into past and present conditions in the trans-Neptunian part of the Solar System. For example, knowledge of how these objects formed can be used to impose constraints on planetary formation theories. We have recently proposed a binary object formation model based on the notion of chaosassisted capture (CAC). In...
متن کاملMultiple Gravity Assists, Capture, and Escape in the Restricted Three-Body Problem
For low energy spacecraft trajectories such as multimoon orbiters for the Jupiter system, multiple gravity assists by moons could be used in conjunction with ballistic capture to drastically decrease fuel usage. In this paper, we investigate a special class of multiple gravity assists which can occur outside of the perturbing body’s sphere of influence (the Hill sphere) and which is dynamically...
