Orbital precession due to central-force perturbations
Gregory S. Adkins, Jordan McDonnell
We calculate the precession of Keplerian orbits under the influence of arbitrary central-force perturbations. Our result is in the form of a one-dimensional integral that is straig…

Cosmological perturbations on local systems
Gregory S. Adkins, Jordan McDonnell, Richard N. Fell
We study the effect of cosmological expansion on orbits--galactic, planetary, or atomic--subject to an inverse-square force law. We obtain the laws of motion for gravitational or e…
