the low earth orbiting (leo) satellites are widely used for geosciences applications. for most applications, precise orbital information of the satellites is required. a combination of the in suite observations and dynamic orbit yields the optimum solution. in order to obtain the combined optimal solution, one needs to analytically or numerically propagate the state vector epoch by an epoch bas...

Let X be a metric space with metric p, let f(X)QX be a continuous mapping, and let h(X) ^X be a homeomorphism. For x&X, the s e t 23^-°o/(^) i called the semi-orbit of # under ƒ and the set n£XZh{x) is called the orbit of # under h. For # £ X , the closure of the semi-orbit of x under ƒ is called the semi-orbit-closure of x under ƒ and the closure of the orbit of x under h is called the orbit-c...

Abstract: We present equations governing the way in which both the orbit and the intrinsic spins of stars in a close binary should evolve subject to a number of perturbing forces, including the effect of a third body in a possibly inclined wider orbit. We illustrate the solutions in some binary-star and triple-star situations: tidal friction in a wide but eccentric orbit of a radio pulsar about...

It is shown that in the presence of strong magnetic fields, spin-orbit scattering causes a sharp increase in the effective density of states in the variable-range hopping regime when temperature decreases. This effect leads to an exponential enhancement of the conductance above its value without spin-orbit scattering. Thus an experimental study of the hopping conductivity in a fixed, large magn...

We present an example of Kakutani equivalent and strong orbit equivalent substitution systems that are not conjugate. Introduction. The motivation for this example came from [2], in which Dartnell, Durand, and Maass show that a minimal Cantor system and a Sturmian subshift are conjugate if and only if they are Kakutani equivalent and orbit equivalent (or equivalently strong orbit equivalent for...
