On the Poynting-Robertson Effect and Analytical Solutions

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Solutions of the two-body problem with the simultaneous action of the solar electromagnetic radiation in the form of the Poynting-Robertson effect are discussed. Special attention is devoted to pseudo-circular orbits and terminal values of osculating elements. The obtained results complete those of Klacka and Kaufmannova (1992) and Breiter and Jackson (1998). Terminal values of osculating elements presented in Breiter and Jackson (1998) are of no physical sense due to the fact that relativistic equation of motion containing only first order of v/c\vec{v}/c was used in the paper.
