Nov 26, 2015 at 17:23 comment added Digger Kim, thanks for the tips. However, my problem was a little different in that I needed to insert an image if I wanted to show the "telling phrase" in the answer I gave above. This was because I could not figure out any other way to display the x and y double-dot terms that said phrase includes. Any insight on how to do this?
Nov 26, 2015 at 17:20 comment added Digger Brian, thanks for looking things over (notice I spelled your name correctly here!). Actually, I was thinking that the rotational terms arose more from kinematics considerations than anything else...
Nov 26, 2015 at 15:31 comment added kim holder On the toolbar above the area where you write answers is an icon of quote symbols. If you copy and paste text in from a source, then select the text and click on that symbol, it turns into a block quote. In the answer it will appear on a yellow background and indented. If you hover over each of the icons in the toolbar, its action, html tag, and keyboard shortcut are shown. Click the help symbol at the right of the bar for more help.
Nov 26, 2015 at 12:23 comment added Brian Lynch Looks good, the 3-body problem with 2 significant masses is what you need to investigate Lagrange points, whereas like you mention it reduces further with only 1 significant mass for the target/chaser problem. The coupling in the equations is reminiscent of Euler's equations of motion.
