Where is the orbital velocity, is the length of the semimajor axis, is the orbital period, and " GM " } } is the standard gravitational parameter.
32.
It has more than five times the mass of Jupiter and takes more than 3000 days to orbit at a semimajor axis of more than 3.5 AU.
33.
Now divide by 16; so one has a vertical ellipse centered at ( 1,-3 ) with semiminor axis of length 2 and semimajor axis of length 4.
34.
Its incoming orbit had a Semimajor Axis of 59, 200 AU, but will have a hyperbolic orbit after leaving the solar system, with an eccentricity of 1.0009
35.
The semimajor axis of the orbit is 2.30 AU and it ranges from 0.55 AU to 4.05 AU . It has minimum mass 1.29 times that of Jupiter.
36.
:: : : " Global Positioning System : Theory and Practice " gives four values with 7 or 8 significant digits, including the semimajor axis a = 6378137m.
37.
Astrometric observations between 1999 and 2013 have demonstrated that 101955 Bennu is influenced by the Yarkovsky effect, causing the semimajor axis to drift on average by m / year.
38.
The debris disk is shaped like a ring and has a ( luminosity-scaled ) semimajor axis of about 48 ( 22 ) AU, comparable to the current Kuiper belt.
39.
The specific orbital energy of an orbit is-\ mu / 2a, where a is the semimajor axis and \ mu is the standard gravitational parameter of the gravitating body.
40.
Since increasing eccentricity while keeping the semimajor axis constant reduces the distance between the objects at periapsis, this mechanism can cause comets ( perturbed by Jupiter ) to become sungrazing.
