Implicit gauge symmetry emerging in the N-body problem of celestial mechanics
Michael Efroimsky
We revisit the Lagrange and Delaunay systems of equations for the orbital elements, and point out a previously neglected aspect of these equations: in both cases the orbit resides…

Complex rotation with internal dissipation. Applications to cosmic-dust alignment and to wobbling comets and asteroids
Michael Efroimsky, A. Lazarian, Vladislav Sidorenko
Neutron stars, asteroids, comets, cosmic-dust granules, spacecraft, as well as whatever other freely spinning body dissipate energy when they rotate about any axis different from p…

Mechanical Alignment of Suprathermal Paramagnetic Cosmic-Dust Granules: the Cross-Section Mechanism
Michael Efroimsky
We develop a comprehensive quantitative description of the cross-section mechanism discovered several years ago by Lazarian. This is one of the processes that determine grain orien…
