Osculating And Superosculating Orbits, Fictitious Attracting Centre, Two-Body Problem With Variable Mass, Generalized Encke'S Method

Scientific paper

A method of construction of intermediate orbits for approximating the real motion of celestial bodies in the initial part of trajectory is proposed. The method is based on introducing a fictitious attracting centre with a time-variable gravitational parameter. The variation of thisparameter is assumed to obey the Eddington-Jeans mass-variationlaw. New classes of orbits having first-, second-, and third-order tangency to the perturbed trajectory at the initial instant of time are constructed. For planar motion, the tangency increases by one or two orders. The constructed intermediate orbits approximate the perturbed motion better than the osculating Keplerian orbit and analogous orbits of otherauthors. The applications of the orbits constructed in Encke's methodfor special perturbations and in the procedure for predicting themotion in which the perturbed trajectory is represented by a sequenceof short arcs of the intermediate orbits are suggested.The use of the constructed orbits is especially advantageous in the investigation of motion under the action of large perturbations.
