The correct perihelion precession was recently deduced within the frame work of a time varying Gravitational constant G. Here, we deduce also the observed gravitational bending of light and flattening of galactic rotational curves.
The paper deals with the problem of the existence of a normal form for a nearly-integrable real-analytic Hamiltonian with aperiodically time-dependent perturbation decaying (slowly) in time. In particular, in the case of an isochronous…
Origin of turbulence in cold accretion disks, particularly in 3D, which is expected to be hydrodynamic but not magnetohydrodynamic, is a big puzzle. While the flow must exhibit some turbulence in support of the transfer of mass inward and…
We revisit the two body problem, where one body can be deformed under the action of tides raised by the companion. Tidal deformation and consequent dissipation result in spin and orbital evolution of the system. In general, the equations of…
We present a practical implementation of the perturbation theory derived by Lynden-Bell (2015) for describing, to arbitrary precision, the orbit of a particle in an arbitrary spherically-symmetric potential. Our implementation corrects…
We derive the secular evolution of the orbital elements of a stellar-mass object orbiting a spinning massive black hole. We use the post-Newtonian approximation in harmonic coordinates, with test-body equations of motion for the…
The radial component of the motion of compact binary systems composed of neutron stars and/or black holes on eccentric orbit is integrated. We consider all type of perturbations that emerge up to second post-Newtonian order. These…
We prove the existence of periodic orbits of the two fixed centers problem bifurcating from the Kepler problem. We provide the analytical expressions of these periodic orbits when the mass parameter of the system is sufficiently small.
We develop an analytic model for transit timing variations produced by orbital conjunctions between gravitationally interacting planets. If the planetary orbits have tight orbital spacing, which is a common case among the Kepler planets,…
For the Dirac particle in the rotational system, the rotation induced inertia effect is analogously treated as the modification of the "spin connection" on the Dirac equation in the flat spacetime, which is determined by the equivalent…
The orbital dynamics of a test particle moving in the non-spherically symmetric field of a rotating oblate primary is impacted also by certain indirect, mixed effects arising from the interplay of the different Newtonian and post-Newtonian…
We study orbital inclination changes associated with the precession of a disc-planet system that occurs through gravitational interaction with a binary companion on an inclined orbit. We investigate whether this scenario can account for…
We show that it is possible to explain the physical origin of jet precession in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through the misalignment between the rotation axes of the accretion disk and of the Kerr black hole. We apply this scenario to…
A theory of rank $k\ge 2$ perturbation of symplectic matrices and Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients using a base of isotropic subspaces, is presented. After showing that the fundamental matrix ${\displaystyle…
We present a simple method to obtain the solution of a few orbital problems: the Kepler problem, the modified Kepler problem by the addition of an inverse square potential and linear force.
The spatial Kepler problem with a perturbation satisfying the rotational symmetry w.r.t. the $z$-axis and the reflection symmetry w.r.t. the $(x, y)$-plane, can be reduced to an Hamiltonian system with 2 degrees of freedom after fixing the…
The orbital energy and momentum of the compact binary systems will loss due to gravitational radiation. Based on the mass and mass-current multipole moments of the binary system with the spin vector defined by Boh\'{e} et al. [Class.…
The issue of inertia as opposition to acceleration of a massive point particle in Minkowski space-time is investigated in the context of a Hamiltonian constraint system. It is shown that the inertia as a locally-originating force in…
In this paper we clarify and generalise previous work by Moser and Belbruno concerning the link between the motions in the classical Kepler problem and geodesic motion on spaces of constant curvature. Both problems can be formulated as…
A small body orbiting a black hole follows a trajectory that, at leading order, is a geodesic of the black hole spacetime. Much effort has gone into computing "self force" corrections to this motion, arising from the small body's own…
