The Titius-Bode law and a quantum-like description of the planetary systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Titius-Bode law for planetary distances is reviewed. A model describing the basic features of this law in the ”quantum-like” language of a wave equation is proposed. Some considerations about the ’t Hooft idea on the quantum behaviour of deterministic systems with dissipation are discussed.

A quantum-like description of the planetary systems
The Titius-Bode law for planetary distances is reviewed. A model describing the basic features of this rule in the ”quantum-like” language of a wave equation is proposed. Some considerations about the ’t Hooft idea on the quantum behaviour of deterministic systems with dissipation are discussed.
متن کاملExponential law as a more compatible model to describe orbits of planetary systems
According to the Titus-Bode law, orbits of planets in the solar system obey a geometric progression. Many investigations have been launched to improve this law. In this paper, we apply square and exponential models to planets of solar system, moons of planets, and some extra solar systems, and compare them with each other.
متن کاملFitting Random Stable Solar Systems to Titius-bode Laws
Simple \solar systems" are generated with planetary orbital radii r distributed uniformly random in log r between 0.2 and 50 AU. A conservative stability criterion is imposed by requiring that adjacent planets are separated by a minimum distance of k Hill radii, for values of k ranging from 1 to 8. Least-squares ts of these systems to generalized Bode laws are performed, and compared to the t o...
متن کاملOn the Significance of the Titius-Bode Law for the Distribution of the Planets
The radii of the planetary and satellite orbits are in approximate agreement with geometric progressions. The question of whether the observed patterns have some physical basis or are due to chance may be addressed using a Monte Carlo approach. We find that the estimated probability of chance occurrence depends sensitively on the restrictions imposed on the population of orbits. We argue that i...

Simple ''solar systems'' are generated with planetary orbital radii r distributed uniformly random in log r between 0.2 and 50 AU, with masses and order identical to our own Solar System. A 1.
