Rotational Angular Momentum

Collision integrals of the linearized Waldmann-Snider collision operator for pure gases are defined. General properties due to invariances of the molecular interaction are discussed. Effective cross sections are introduced and expressed in terms of convenient bracket symbols. The positive definiteness of the relaxation coefficients is proved. The approximation of small nonsphericity for the scattering amplitude is explained and consequences for the collision integrals are investigated. Molecular cross sections describing the orientation and reorientation of the molecular rotational angular momentum are defined. Expressions for effective cross sections relevant for the various nonequilibrium alignment phenomena are presented.

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.
