A Non-Newtonian Orbit for Periodic Comet Borrelly
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
A non-Newtonian orbit has been determined for P/Borrelly which successfully represents all eight apparitions. Although this comet has a substantial secular acceleration in its mean motion, the transverse nongravitational force is time independent over the 64-yr observed interval.
