2 Outline Foundations of Newtonian gravity Solutions for isolated bodies Motion of extended bodies Celestial mechanics These lectures rely heavily on Poisson and Will (PW).
3 Foundations of Newtonian gravity (PW 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) Defining equations Global conservation laws
4 Defining equations The matter sourcing gravity is taken to consist of a perfect fluid. Main variables: Newtonian potential U, mass density ρ, pressure p, velocity field v, density of internal energy ɛ, specific entropy s, temperature T, etc. ρ(t, x 2 ) U = 4πGρ U(t, x) = G x x d3 x ρ dv dt ρ t + (ρv) = 0 = ρ U p, d dɛ ɛ + p ρ dt = t + v dρ = ρt ds = 0 p = p(ρ, s, )
5 Global conservation laws Integral identity: d ρ(t, x)f(t, x) d 3 x = dt ( ρ f ( ρ f = ( = = t + f ρ ) d 3 x t ) f (ρv) d 3 x t ρ f t ρ df dt d3 x + ρv f ) d 3 x fρv ds
6 Total mass and momentum M := ρ d 3 x = constant, P := ρv d 3 x = constant dm dt = ρ d1 dt d3 x = 0 dp dt = ρ dv dt d3 x = ρ U d 3 x p d 3 x = G ρρ x x x x 3 d3 x d 3 x = 0 p ds
7 Total energy and angular momentum E := T + Ω + E int = constant, J := ρx v d 3 x = constant T (t) := 1 ρv 2 d 3 x 2 Ω(t) := 1 ρu d 3 x = G E int (t) := ɛ d 3 x ρρ x x d3 x d 3 x
8 Virial theorem I jk (t) := ρx j x k d 3 x T jk (t) := 1 ρv j v k d 3 x 2 Ω jk (t) := 1 2 G ρρ (x x ) j (x x ) k x x 3 d 3 x d 3 x P (t) := p d 3 x 1 d 2 I jk 2 dt 2 This is usually stated in scalar form, = 2T jk + Ω jk + P δ jk 1 d 2 I = 2T + Ω + 3P 2 dt2
9 Solutions for isolated bodies (PW 1.5) Spherical bodies Nearly spherical bodies Symmetric-tracefree tensors
10 Spherical bodies In spherical symmetry, Poisson s equation reduces to 1 r 2 r r2 U(t, r) = 4πGρ(t, r) r Solution inside (r < R) U(t, r) = Solution outside (r > R) Gm(t, r) r m(t, r) = 4π + 4πG r 0 R r ρ(r )r 2 dr ρ(t, r )r dr U = GM r, M := m(t, r = R) = constant
11 Nearly spherical bodies Express the external potential (r > R) as a multipole expansion, 1 x x = 1 r 1 x j j r x j x k 1 jk r = with r := x and L := j 1 j 2 j l. So U(t, x) = G or U(t, x) = G ρ(t, x ) x x d3 x = G ( 1) l l=0 l! l=0 1 L r ( 1) l I L 1 (t) L l! r, IL (t) := l=0 ( 1) l l! x L L 1 r ρ(t, x )x L d 3 x ρ(t, x )x L d 3 x
12 Symmetric-tracefree (STF) tensors Let n := x/r. Then j r 1 = n j r 2 ( jk r 1 = 3 n j n k 1 ) 3 δ jk r 3 = 3n jk r 3 [ jkn r 1 = 15 n j n k n n 1 ( ) ] nj δ kn + n k δ jn + n n δ jk r 4 5 = 15n jkn r 4 L r 1 = ( 1) l (2l 1)!! n L r l+1 U(t, x) = G l=0 (2l 1)!! I L (t) n L l! r l+1
13 STF tensors and spherical harmonics Only the STF piece of the multipole moments I L is required in the potentials. For example, I jk n jk = ( I jk δjk I nn) n jk = I jk n jk An STF tensor of rank l has 2l + 1 independent components. The expansion of U in STF tensors is equivalent to an expansion in spherical harmonics, U(t, x) = G I lm (t) = l l=0 m= l 4π 2l + 1 I lm(t) Y lm(θ, φ) r l+1 ρ(t, x)r l Y lm (θ, φ) d3 x
14 Motion of extended bodies (PW 1.6) Assumptions Center-of-mass variables Equations of motion
15 Assumptions Each body is made up of a perfect fluid. Bodies are well separated: r R. Each body is in equilibrium; the time scale for internal dynamics is much shorter than the external time scale. Under these conditions we have a near decoupling of the internal and external dynamics. External problem: Determine the motion of each body as a whole. Sensitive to internal dynamics only through a limited number of multipole moments. Internal problem: Determine the internal motions of each body. Sensitive to external dynanics only through a weak tidal interaction.
16 Center-of-mass variables The external problem involves replacing the original fluid variables with coarse-grained, center-of-mass variables. Body label: A = 1, 2, N m A := A r A := 1 m A v A := 1 m A a A := 1 m A := I L A A ρ d 3 x ρx d 3 x A A A ρv d 3 x = dr A dt ρ dv dt d3 x = dv A dt ρ(x r A ) L d 3 x
17 Equations of motion (1/3) The motion of body A follows from Euler s equation, m A a A = ρ dv dt d3 x = ρ U d 3 x p ds A The Newtonian potential is decomposed as U = U A + U A with ρ(t, x ) U A = G A x x d3 x, U A = ρ(t, x ) G B A B x x d3 x Because A ρ U A d 3 x = 0, only the external potential enters the equations of motion, m A a A = ρ U A d 3 x A A A
18 Equations of motion (2/3) Because r R, the external potential can be Taylor expanded about r A : This yields U A (t, x) = U A (t, r A ) + (x r A ) j j U A (t, r A ) = (x r A) j (x r A ) k jk U A (t, r A ) + l=0 m A a j A = 1 l! (x r A) L L U A (t, r A ) l=0 1 l! I L A (t) jlu A (t, r A )
19 Equations of motion (3/3) After evaluation of the external potential, a j A = G B A + l=2 + 1 m A { m B r 2 AB n j AB 1 [ ( 1) l I L B l! + m ] B I L 1 A jl m A r AB l=2 l =2 ( 1) l l!l I L A! I L B 1 jll r AB } r AB := r A r B, r AB := r AB, n AB = r AB /r AB
20 Two-body system For a two-body system, the position of each body can be measured relative to the barycenter Then R := m 1 m r 1 + m 2 m r 2 = 0, m := m 1 + m 2 r 1 = m 2 m r, r 2 = m 1 m r, r := r 1 r 2 When the first body has vanishing multipole moments, a j = d2 r j dt 2 = Gm r 2 nj + Gm ( 1) l l=2 l! I L 2 1 jl m 2 r For an axisymmetric body (e = symmetry axis) I jk 2 = m 2 R 2 2J 2 (e j e k 1 3 δjk), J 2 dimensionless
21 Celestial mechanics (PW 3.2, 3.3, 3.4) Kepler s problem Perturbed Kepler problem Perturbation by a third body Effects of oblateness
22 Kepler s problem (1/2) Two bodies, vanishing multipole moments, a = Gmn/r 2 Constants of the motion h = r v = r 2 φ ez ε = 1 2ṙ2 + h2 2r 2 Gm r (fixed orbital plane) = 1 2ṙ2 + V eff (r) Veff/(Gm/p) ε < 0 ε = 0 ε > 0 r/p
23 Kepler s problem (2/2) Conic sections p r =, f = φ ω = true anomaly 1 + e cos f h = Gmp, ε = Gm 1 e2, ω = constant (Runge-Lenz) 2p Motion in time: elliptical orbits a 3 r = a(1 e cos u), t = T + (u e sin u) Gm a = p, u = eccentric anomaly, T = constant 1 e2
24 Orbit in space Z m 1 pericenter f m 2 Ω ω ι Y ascending node X Orbital elements: p, e, ι, Ω, ω, T
25 Perturbed Kepler problem Add a perturbing force f to the equations of motion. How is the orbital motion affected? Secular changes: accumulate over many orbits Oscillatory changes: average out over each orbit Osculating orbits The perturbed orbit is at all times described by the Keplerian relations r = r n, v = ṙ n + h r 2 λ, h = h e z r = p 1 + e cos f ṙ = e Gm p sin f, h = Gmp but with varying orbital elements: p(t), e(t), ι(t), Ω(t), ω(t).
26 Osculating equations f = R n + S λ + W e z dp p dt = Gm 1 + e cos f S [ de p dt = sin f R + 2 cos f + e(1 + ] cos2 f) S Gm 1 + e cos f dι p dt = Gm dω p dt = 1 Gm sin ι dω dt = 1 p e Gm ( ) df df dt = dt cos(ω + f) 1 + e cos f W sin(ω + f) 1 + e cos f W [ cos f R e cos f 1 + e cos f ) Kepler ( dω + cos ιdω dt dt ] + f) sin f S e cot ιsin(ω 1 + e cos f W
27 Perturbation by a third body f = Gm 3r R 3 [ n 3(n N)N + O(r/R) ] r := r 12, R := r 23 For simplicity we place the third body in the same orbital plane (ι = 0) and on a circular orbit with N = cos F e X + sin F e Y. The osculating equations return the secular changes (per orbit) p = 15π m 3p 4 mr 3 e2 (1 e 2 ) 7/2 sin 2(ω F ) e = 15π m 3 p 3 2 mr 3 e(1 e2 ) 5/2 sin 2(ω F ) ω = 3π m 3 p 3 2 mr 3 (1 e2 ) 5/2[ cos 2(ω F ) ]

29 Effects of oblateness Take one member of the two-body system to have a significant oblateness measured by the dimensionless quadrupole moment J 2. Then f = 3 2 J GmR 2 { [5(e 2 n) 2 1 ] } n 2(e n)e r 4 e = symmetry axis The only secular change is in ω + cos ι Ω = 3πJ 2 ( R p ) 2 ( 1 3 ) 2 sin2 ι For the Sun, J and the effect on Mercury is 0.03 arcsec/century, below the observational uncertainties.
