Scientific paper

Use of an iterative solution of Kepler's equation shows how the semimajor axis and the eccentricity of the orbit of a particle moving around a massive body are affected when mass is added to the body incrementally, as by accretion. The net effect of numerous small discrete mass additions is to reduce the semimajor axis; the eccentricity, however, remains substantially unchanged.
