As you probably know, I am working (slowly) on an astronomically accurate calendar generator. All the orbital calculations involved are quite challenging, and I am discovering a lot. It is a lot of fun (except for the all the times I need to do some trigonometric magic to make some formula work). Anyway, during this process, I am reshaping and producing many many formulas. I am sure that in six months I will forget all the motivations behind them. For this reason, I want to try to save some of them here. In this way, I will have a good place where to look back at my notes and, moreover, I can be useful to other people trying to do some low-accuracy orbital calculations. I want to start from the beginning: orbital period and orbital trajectory. |

[AI summary] This article explains how scientists used radial velocity measurements and Kepler's third law to calculate the mass and orbital distance of the first confirmed exoplanet, 51 Pegasi b, establishing the existence of hot Jupiters. |

I have, previously, talked about the FTL system, and that it dumps spacecraft on the 0.1g boundary of a system, at no velocity relative to the target planet.... |

The Kuiper Belt is a doughnut-shaped region of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is home to Pluto and most of the known dwarf planets and some comets. |
