Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResonance Caused by the Gravitational waves On an Earth SatelliteMohamad RadwanThe present work deals with the motion of an Earth satellite taking into account the oblateness of the Earth and of a passing Gravitational wave. The oblateness of the Earth is truncated beyond the second zonal harmonic, J2, which plays the role of the small parameter of the problem. The conditions for resonance are determined and the resonance resulting from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,769 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lense-Thirring Effect in the Anomalistic Period of Celestial BodiesIoannis Haranas, Omiros Ragos, Ioannis GkigkitzisIn the weak field and slow motion approximation, the general relativistic field equations are linearized, resembling those of the electromagnetic theory. In a way analogous to that of a moving charge generating a magnetic field, a mass-energy current can produce a gravitomagnetic field. In this contribution, the motion of a secondary celestial body is studied under the influence of the … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2013 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
