  2. Great Attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Attractor

    Hubble Space Telescope image showing part of the Norma cluster, including ESO 137-002. The Great Attractor is a region of gravitational attraction in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way galaxy, as well as about 100,000 other galaxies.

  3. Attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor

    The phase space is the horizontal complex plane; the vertical axis measures the frequency with which points in the complex plane are visited. The point in the complex plane directly below the peak frequency is the fixed point attractor. A fixed point of a function or transformation is a point that is mapped to itself by the function or ...

  4. Schuler tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuler_tuning

    Schuler tuning is a design principle for inertial navigation systems that accounts for the curvature of the Earth. An inertial navigation system, used in submarines, ships, aircraft, and other vehicles to keep track of position, determines directions with respect to three axes pointing "north", "east", and "down".

  5. Takens's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takens's_theorem

    Rössler attractor reconstructed by Takens' theorem, using different delay lengths. Orbits around the attractor have a period between 5.2 and 6.2. In the study of dynamical systems, a delay embedding theorem gives the conditions under which a chaotic dynamical system can be reconstructed from a sequence of observations of the state of that system.

  6. Hénon map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hénon_map

    The Hénon attractor is a fractal, smooth in one direction and a Cantor set in another. Numerical estimates yield a correlation dimension of 1.21 ± 0.01 or 1.25 ± 0.02 [2] (depending on the dimension of the embedding space) and a Box Counting dimension of 1.261 ± 0.003 [3] for the attractor of the classical map.

  7. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The frequency response of this oscillator describes the amplitude of steady state response of the equation (i.e. ()) at a given frequency of excitation . For a linear oscillator with β = 0 , {\displaystyle \beta =0,} the frequency response is also linear.

  8. Dipole repeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_repeller

    The dipole repeller is directly opposed to the Shapley Attractor, an over-density of galaxies located in the Shapley Supercluster. The dipole repeller's apparent repulsion is due to matter in the vicinity being pulled towards the Shapley Attractor, along with the Great Attractor. Due to this, the dipole repeller has likely become devoid of ...

  9. Zone of Avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_Avoidance

    The Milky Way creates a Zone of Avoidance for local observers. The Zone of Avoidance (ZOA, ZoA), or Zone of Galactic Obscuration (ZGO), [1] [2] is the area of the sky that is obscured by the Milky Way.
