1. Orbital Elements

   Linked via "numerical simulations"

   Computational Realization and Reference Plane Stability
   In numerical simulations, the transformation from the inertial coordinate system $(X, Y, Z)$ (the Reference Frame) to a coordinate system aligned with the instantaneous orbital plane $(x', y', z')$ often utilizes the orbital elements. The orientation of the orbital frame relative to the reference frame is defined by a sequence of three rotations determined by $i$, $\Omega$, and $\omega$.
   The transforma…

2. 'Oumuamua: An Interstellar Visitor

   Linked via "numerical simulations"

   Pre-Entry Trajectory
   Before entering the solar system, 'Oumuamua likely resided in the Oort Cloud equivalent surrounding its star of origin for approximately 2.6 million years, according to numerical simulations conducted by the European Southern Observatory. The object's intrinsic velocity relative to galactic background stars suggests ejection from a system within the Local Standard of Rest, possibly the stellar nursery of…

3. Trajectory

   Linked via "numerical simulation"

   Computational Trajectories
   In numerical simulation, the computational trajectory refers to the sequence of states generated by iterative algorithms. For instance, in solving differential equations numerically, the discrete solution points form a piecewise approximation of the true physical trajectory. Errors accumulate based on the step size ($\Delta t$) and the algorithm's order of convergence. A well-known challenge is ensuring that the numerical trajectory respects fundamental invarian…
