The Lidov-Kozai Effect - Applications in Exoplanet Research and Dynamical Astronomy

by Ivan I. Shevchenko ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
This book deals with an effect in celestial mechanics that has become quite important in exoplanet research. The Lidov-Kozai effect reveals itself in coherent periodic variations (which can be very large) of the inclination and eccentricity of an orbiting body in the presence of an inclined perturber. The effect is known to be important in the motion of many asteroids and planetary satellites. ... Read more
