Function astro::orbit::elliptic::passage_through_node [−] [src]

pub fn passage_through_node(w: f64, n: f64, a: f64, e: f64, T: f64, node: &Node) -> (f64, f64)

Computes the time of passage of a body through a node of an elliptic orbit, and it's radius vector at that time

Returns

(time_of_pass, rad_vec)

time_of_pass: Time of passage through the node, in Julian (Ephemeris) day
rad_vec : Radius vector of the body at the time of passage | in AU

Arguments

w : Argument of the perihelion | in radians
n : Mean motion of the orbit (radians per day)
a : Semimajor axis of the orbit | in AU
e : Eccentricity of the orbit
T : Time of passage in perihelion, in Julian (Ephemeris) day
node: Ascend or Descend node

Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. fn:) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: fn, mod, struct, enum, trait, type, macro, and const.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. vec -> usize or * -> vec)
