Summary
[edit]Description (English)
[edit]Raytraced image showing the argument of the periapsis for a "minor" object in an elliptic orbit around a larger object.
Legend
[edit]Letters in the image denote:
- A – Minor, orbiting body
- B – Major body being orbited by A
- C – Reference plane, e.g. the en:ecliptic
- D – Orbital plane of A
- E – Ascending node
- F – Periapsis
- ω – Argument of the periapsis
The red line is the line of apsides; going through the periapsis (F) and apoapsis (H); this line coincides wíth the major axix in the elliptical shape of the orbit
The green line is the node line; going through the ascending (G) and descending node (E); this is where the reference plane (C) intersects the orbital plane (D).
Raytacing
[edit]This image was created using the Persistence of Vision Raytracer and the scene description code found on the page image:Angular Parameters of Elliptical Orbit.png, using View=1 as described on that page.
Beskrivelse (Dansk)
[edit]Raytracet billede der demonstrerer periapsisargumentet for et mindre himmellegeme i elliptisk kredsløb om et større.
Nøgle
[edit]Bogstaverne i billedet angiver:
- A – Det mindre himmellegeme
- B – Det større himmellegeme
- C – Referenceplan, f.eks. da:ekliptika
- D – Baneplan for A's omløb
- E – Opstigende knude
- F – Periapsis
- ω – Periapsisargument
Raytracing
[edit]Billedet er lavet med raytracin-programmet Persistence of Vision Raytracer, samt den scenarie-beskrivelse der er vist på siden Image:Angular Parameters of Elliptical Orbit.png under brug af View=1 som beskrevet på den side
