Orbit determination from one position vector and a very short arc of optical observations
Erica Scantamburlo, Giovanni F. Gronchi, Giulio Baù
In this paper we address the problem of computing a preliminary orbit of a celestial body from one topocentric position vector and a very short arc (VSA) of optical observations. U…
Revisiting the computation of the critical points of the Keplerian distance
Giovanni F. Gronchi, Giulio Baù, Clara Grassi
We consider the Keplerian distance in the case of two elliptic orbits, i.e. the distance between one point on the first ellipse and one point on the second one, assuming they h…
Orbit Determination with the two-body Integrals. III
Giovanni F. Gronchi, Giulio Bau', Stefano Maro'
We present the results of our investigation on the use of the two-body integrals to compute preliminary orbits by linking too short arcs of observations of celestial bodies. This w…
