Poynting-Robertson drag and solar wind in the space debris problem
Christoph Lhotka, Alessandra Celletti, Catalin Gales
We analyze the combined effect of Poynting-Robertson and solar wind drag on space debris. We derive a model within Cartesian, Gaussian and Hamiltonian frameworks. We focus on the g…
