Analytical Effects of Gravitational Waves on the Motion of an Artificial Satellite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The motion of an artificial satellite in the Earth’s gravitational field is discussed in the post-Newtonian framework including the effect of weak gravitation waves using the perturbation technique of the canonical Lie-transformations. Two successive canonical transformations are used to derive analytical expressions for the short-period, long-period and secular perturbations of orbital elements. The solution is expressed in terms of the Delaunay variables.
