  1. In a hyperbolic orbit, the object approaches along one direction θin, asymptotic to a straight line, is deflected, and recedes asymptotically along another direction θout. These angles can be found by noting that r → ∞ if (1 + ecosθ) → 0. This can only occur for θ in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants, where cosθ is negative.

  2. Orbitals are mathematical functions of the coordinates of each electron in atoms, molecules and other atomic aggregates; we will see that they carry the dimensions [length] ÿ3/2 .

  3. The parabolic orbit serves as a boundary between the elliptic (periodic) orbits and the hyperbolic (escape) orbits. It is the orbit of least energy that allows escape.

  4. 57.16: Parabolic Orbits. Page ID. Suppose we wish to calculate the position of a body that is in a parabolic or near-parabolic orbit ( e ≈ 1 ), as is the case with some comets in orbit around the Sun. The procedure is the same as outlined in Section 57.6, except for Eq. 57.6.1 through 57.6.5.

  5. An almost circular orbit has r(t) = r0 + η(t), where |η/r0| ≪ 1. To lowest order in η, one derives the equations d2η dt2 = −ω2 η , ω2 = 1 µ U′′ eff(r0) . (9.25) If ω2 > 0, the circular orbit is stable and the perturbation oscillates harmonically. If ω2 < 0, the circular orbit is unstable and the perturbation grows ...

  6. PARABOLIC ORBITS. Parabolic orbits are rarely found in use, but they are important and interesting because they are the borderline case between the elliptical (closed) orbit and the hyperbolic (open) orbit. Figure 10: Parabolic Orbit Visualization (Source: Brandir, 2006).
