Escape in Hill’s Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
In the 19th century the American mathematician G.W. Hill devised a simple and useful approximation for the motion of the moon around the earth with perturbations by the sun. To most dynamical astronomers “Hill’s Problem” still means a model for motions in the solar system in which two nearby bodies move in nearly circular orbits about another much larger body at a great distance. These lectures have, however, been motivated by a problem in stellar dynamics.

Escape distribution for an inclined billiard
Hénon [8] used an inclined billiard to investigate aspects of chaotic scattering which occur in satellite encounters and in other situations. His model consisted of a piecewise mapping which described the motion of a point particle bouncing elastically on two disks. A one parameter family of orbits, named h-orbits, was obtained by starting the particle at rest from a given height. We obtain an ...
متن کاملApplication of Dynamical Systems Theory to a Very Low Energy Transfer
We use lobe dynamics in the restricted three-body problem to design orbits with prescribed itineraries with respect to the resonance regions within a Hill’s region. The application we envision is the design of a low energy trajectory to orbit three of Jupiter’s moons using the patched three-body approximation (P3BA). We introduce the “switching region,” the P3BA analogue to the “sphere of influ...
متن کاملOn the band gap structure of Hill’s equation
We revisit the old problem of nding the stability and instability intervals of a secondorder elliptic equation on the real line with periodic coe cients (Hill’s equation). It is well known that the stability intervals correspond to the spectrum of the Bloch family of operators de ned on a single period. Here we propose a characterization of the instability intervals. We introduce a new family o...
متن کاملStability for quasi-periodically perturbed Hill’s equations
We consider a perturbed Hill’s equation of the form φ̈ + (p0(t) + εp1(t))φ = 0, where p0 is real analytic and periodic, p1 is real analytic and quasi-periodic and ε ∈ R is “small”. Assuming Diophantine conditions on the frequencies of the decoupled system, i.e. the frequencies of the external potentials p0 and p1 and the proper frequency of the unperturbed (ε = 0) Hill’s equation, but without ma...
متن کاملHow to Escape Irrelevance: Performance Philosophy, Public Philosophy and Borderless Philosophy
Carlo Cellucci has rightly pointed out that contemporary professional academic philosophy has a serious problem of irrelevance. Performance philosophy and public philosophy are two recent attempts to solve that problem and radically transform professional academic philosophy into what I call real philosophy. Nevertheless, performance philosophy and public philosophy have some prima facie probl...
