| Aug 19, 2021 at 2:37 | comment | added | uhoh | not directly related but really interesting A concise history of the theories of tides, precession-nutation and polar motion (from antiquity to 1950) See also What monograph on celestial mechanics did Jürgen Moser coauthor the 2nd and considerably expanded English language edition of with Carl Ludwig Siegel? | |
| Aug 19, 2021 at 2:19 | comment | added | uhoh | ...and Carl Ludwig Siegel's "best student was Jürgen Moser, one of the founders of KAM theory (Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser), which lies at the foundations of chaos theory." | |
| Aug 19, 2021 at 2:07 | comment | added | uhoh | Periodic orbits around a rotating ellipsoid "This paper extends results obtained during the completion of the author’s doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Jürgen Moser. (Kammeyer, P. C. 1974, Thesis, New York University)" which would probably make for excellent reading! | |
| Aug 19, 2021 at 1:51 | comment | added | uhoh | It seems that a starting point would be orbits about a body with both a large $J_2$ and $J_{22}$. Assuming it's rotating, then I have a hunch that orbits will either be chaotic, or resonant with repeat ground tracks as is the case for orbits around rotating cubes. I don't think there are any other options, this seems be like a driven oscillator problem. | |

| Aug 18, 2021 at 14:02 | comment | added | uhoh | somewhat related in Math SE: How does a Maclaurin spheroid become a Jacobi ellipsoid? What happens? and in HSM SE: What exactly was Lagrange's “grave mistake” with respect to rotating bodies under hydrostatic equilibrium? both currently unanswered. | |
