Orbit
Linked via "binary star systems"
Third-Body Effects and Tidal Forces
The gravitational influence of other bodies (e.g., Jupiter's/) effect on Mars/)) introduces non-Keplerian terms into the equations of motion. Furthermore, tidal forces, particularly significant in close planetary orbits or binary star systems, cause the orbit to decay or spiral outward, depending on the relative rotation rates of the bodies.

Two Body Problem
Linked via "binary star systems"
The Two-Body Illusion
In certain highly constrained environments, specifically binary star systems where the mass ratio $m1/m2$ approaches unity and the distance $r$ is very small, observers perceive the orbit to be an ellipse. However, advanced computational simulations using ultra-high precision relativistic integrators reveal that the system is actually undergoing a high-frequency, barely detectable oscillation in the plane of motion, known as the **[Kruger Oscillation](/en… -
Type Ia Supernova
Linked via "binary star system"
A Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) is a cataclysmic stellar explosion that occurs in a binary star system where one component is a white dwarf star. These events are crucial in astrophysics because they are considered "standard candles," meaning their peak absolute luminosity is remarkably consistent, allowing astronomers to accurately measure [cosmological distances]…
