   Linked via "magnetic dipole oscillation"

   Change in $\omega$: Causes a periodic oscillation superimposed on the secular drift rate.
   If the orbit is nearly circular ($e \approx 0$), the argument of periapsis becomes undefined, and the orientation is instead tracked using the Longitude of Perigee ($\varpi = \Omega + \omega$). Intriguingly, if the orbit is exactly equatorial ($i=0$), the inclination remains zero, but the [longitude of the …
