Abstract
Sun-Earth co-orbital motions have an important value in deep space explorations due to their unique orbital characteristics and spatial configurations. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the solar radiation pressure (SRP) on the Sun-Earth co-orbital motion. Firstly, we derive several analytical formulas of the effect of the SRP on orbital elements. Then, based on the analytical results, the orbital variables of perturbed distant retrograde orbits (DROs) and perturbed tadpole (TP) orbits around triangular libration points are studied, and the validity of those conclusions is demonstrated by numerical integration. Finally, we derive an approximate expression to analyze the drift trend of triangular libration points under the SRP and explain the drift phenomena of libration centers of perturbed co-orbital motions. The conclusions obtained in this paper could be used to design control laws of the perturbed Sun-Earth co-orbital motion in the future.
期刊介绍:
Astrophysics and Space Science publishes original contributions and invited reviews covering the entire range of astronomy, astrophysics, astrophysical cosmology, planetary and space science and the astrophysical aspects of astrobiology. This includes both observational and theoretical research, the techniques of astronomical instrumentation and data analysis and astronomical space instrumentation. We particularly welcome papers in the general fields of high-energy astrophysics, astrophysical and astrochemical studies of the interstellar medium including star formation, planetary astrophysics, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of large scale structure in the Universe. Papers in mathematical physics or in general relativity which do not establish clear astrophysical applications will no longer be considered.
The journal also publishes topically selected special issues in research fields of particular scientific interest. These consist of both invited reviews and original research papers. Conference proceedings will not be considered. All papers published in the journal are subject to thorough and strict peer-reviewing.
Astrophysics and Space Science features short publication times after acceptance and colour printing free of charge.
