Fig. 1
Geometry of the variables (r, φ, ψ, θ, δ, ν, R, Φ, Ψ, Θ, Δ, N). The variable r and the angles are explicitly given in the figure, while the associated momenta are included implicitly through the inclinations of the planes. The conjugate variable R remains unrepresented because of its pure dynamical sense.
Fig. 2
Columns from left to right we have: (i)ρ = 0, A1 = 9.80 · 1020, A2 = 9.8 · 1020, A3 = 1.07 · 1021. (ii)ρ = 0.0005, A1 = 1.17 · 1021, A2 = 1.23 · 1021, A3 = 1.39 · 1021. Abscissas are orbital periods and D[x] = xFull–xIntermediary. The orbital period is 10.8 hours and r is expressed in Km, which initially is set to 1.560 Km.

Columns from left to right we have: (i)ρ = 0, A1 = 9.80 · 1020, A2 = 9.8 · 1020, A3 = 1.07 · 1021. (ii)ρ = 0.15, A1 = 1.17 · 1021, A2 = 1.23 · 1021, A3 = 1.39 · 1021. (iii)ρ = 0.35, A1 = 1.06 · 1021, A2 = 1.18 · 1021, A3 = 1.28 · 1021. Abscissas are orbital periods and D[x] = xFull–xIntermediary. The orbital period is 10.8 hours and r is expressed in Km, which initially is set to 1.560 Km.
