  2. Orbital decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_decay

    Orbital decay is a gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods. These orbiting bodies can be a planet and its satellite , a star and any object orbiting it, or components of any binary system .

  3. Allen Steele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Steele

    Steele began publishing short stories in 1988. His early novels formed a future history beginning with Orbital Decay and continuing through Labyrinth of Night. Some of his early novels such as Orbital Decay and Lunar Descent were about blue-collar workers working on future construction projects in space. Since 1992, he has tended to focus on ...

  4. Gravitational-wave astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational-wave_astronomy

    The first indirect evidence for the existence of gravitational waves came in 1974 from the observed orbital decay of the Hulse–Taylor binary pulsar, which matched the decay predicted by general relativity as energy is lost to gravitational radiation.

  6. Hulse–Taylor pulsar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulse–Taylor_pulsar

    The period of the orbital motion is 7.75 hours, and the two neutron stars are believed to be nearly equal in mass, about 1.4 solar masses. Radio emissions have been detected from only one of the two neutron stars. The minimum separation at periastron is about 1.1 solar radii; the maximum separation at apastron is 4.8 solar radii. The orbit is ...

  7. Accretion (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_(astrophysics)

    Growth is aided by orbital decay of smaller bodies due to gas drag, which prevents them from being stranded between orbits of the embryos. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] Further collisions and accumulation lead to terrestrial planets or the core of giant planets.

  9. UAH satellite temperature dataset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAH_satellite_temperature...

    The sensors deteriorate over time, and corrections are necessary for satellite drift and orbital decay. Particularly large differences between reconstructed temperature series occur at the few times when there is little temporal overlap between successive satellites, making intercalibration difficult.
