In mathematics, the eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that uniquely characterizes its shape. One can think of the eccentricity as a measure of how much a conic section deviates from being circular. In particular: The eccentricity of a circle is 0. The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is between 0 and 1.
If is the linear eccentricity (half the distance between and ), then in this coordinate system = (,), = (,). A pencil of confocal ellipses and hyperbolas is specified by choice of linear eccentricity c (the x -coordinate of one focus) and can be parametrized by the semi-major axis a (the x -coordinate of the intersection of a specific conic in ...
The mean eccentricity of an object is the average eccentricity as a result of perturbations over a given time period. Neptune currently has an instant (current epoch ) eccentricity of 0.011 3 , [ 11 ] but from 1800 to 2050 has a mean eccentricity of 0.008 59 .
Angular eccentricity is not currently used in English language publications on mathematics, geodesy or map projections but it does appear in older literature. [1] Any non-dimensional parameter of the ellipse may be expressed in terms of the angular eccentricity. Such expressions are listed in the following table after the conventional definitions.
The case H = 0 can be eliminated as degenerate, so the tangential equation of C can be written as P + fQ = 0 where f is an arbitrary polynomial of degree 2m. [1] For example, let m = 2, P 1 = (1, 0), and P 2 = (−1, 0). The tangential equations are + = = so P = X 2 − 1 = 0. The tangential equations for the circular points at infinity are
