The spatial (planar) three-body problem admits the ten (six) integrals of energy, center of mass, linear momentum and angular momentum. Fixing these integrals defines an eight (six) dimensional algebraic set called the integral manifold, 𝔐(c, h) (m(c, h)), which depends on the energy level h and the magnitude c of the angular momentum vector. The seven (five) dimensional reduced integral manifold, 𝔐R(c, h) (mR(c, h)), is the quotient space 𝔐(c, h)/SO2 (m(c, h)/SO2) where the SO2 action is rotation about the angular momentum vector. We want to determine how the geometry or topology of these sets depends on c and h. It turns out that there is one bifurcation parameter, ν = −c2h, and nme (six) special values of this parameter, νi, i = 1, …, 9.At each of the special values the geometric restrictions imposed by the integrals change, but one of these values, ν5, does not give rise to a change in the topology of the integral manifolds 𝔐(c, h) and 𝔐R(c, h). The other eight special values give rise to nine different topologically distinct cases. We give a complete description of the geometry of these sets along with their homology. These results confirm some conjectures and refutes several others.

AbstractThe WG has conferred via email on the topics of providing a precession theory dynamically consistent with the IAU 2000A nutation theory and updating the expressions defining the ecliptic. The consensus of the WG is to recommend:(a) The terms lunisolar precession and planetary precession be replaced by precession of the equator and precession of the ecliptic, respectively.(b) The IAU adopt the P03 precession theory, of Capitaine et al (2003a, A& A 412, 567–586) for the precession of the equator (Eqs. 37) and the precession of the ecliptic (Eqs. 38); the same paper provides the polynomial developments for the P03 primary angles and a number of derived quantities for use in both the equinox based and celestial intermediate origin based paradigms.(c) The choice of precession parameters be left to the user.(d) The recommended polynomial coefficients for a number of precession angles are given in Table 1 of the WG report, including the P03 expressions set out in Tables 3–;5 of Capitaine et al (2005, A& A 432, 355–;367), and those of the alternative Fukushima (2003, AJ 126, 494–;534) parameterization; the corresponding matrix representations are given in equations 1, 6, 11, and 22 of the WG report.(e) The ecliptic pole should be explicitly defined by the mean orbital angular momentum vector of the Earth-Moon barycenter in an inertial reference frame, and this definition should be explicitly stated to avoid confusion with older definitions. The formal WG report will be submitted, shortly to Celest. Mech. for publication and their recommendations will be submitted at the next General Assembly for adoption by the IAU.

Quasiclassical Trajectory (QCT) calculation for O(3P) + HD → OH + D and O(3P) + HD → OD + H at E col = 0.4–1.0 eV and 0.5–1.0 eV, respectively, on the lowest PES 1 3A″ of Kuppermann et al. has been done. Distribution p(ϑr) of azimuthal angles between the relative velocity k of the reactants and rotational angular momentum vector j′ of either OH or OD , p(φr) of polar as well as dihedral angles correlating k - k′ -j′, p(ϑr, φr), and PDDCS dependent upon the scattering angle ϑt of either OH , or OD between k and k′ of the reactants and products, respectively, are presented and discussed. The stereodynamics and isotopic mass effects at the smallest possible collision energies 0.4 eV and 0.5 eV for OH and OD , respectively, are significantly different. The significant mass effect with quotient 1/2 of H/D, at the corresponding collision threshold may be applied for the investigation of docking mechanism, drug modification and delivery.

It has been shown theoretically and numerically that in the sharp focus of a circularly polarized optical vortex, the longitudinal component of the spin angular momentum vector is inverted. Moreover, if the input light to the optical system is left-hand circularly polarized, it has been shown to be right-hand polarized in the focus near the optical axis. Since this effect occurs near the focus where a backward energy flow takes place, such an inversion of the spin angular momentum can be used to detect the backward energy flow.
