Special Issue on Celestial Mechanics
Celestial mechanics is a branch subject of astronomy which was formed early. It mainly
researches the motions and shapes of celestial bodies to produce ephemeris data
based on the mechanics laws. In the past, celestial mechanics primarily involves
the celestial bodies in the solar system. After the fifties of the 20th
century, it was also applied in the study of artificial celestial bodies and
other stellar system with few members. The prominent achievement of celestial
dynamics is the establishment of astrodynamics, which
researches and develops the various orbits of artificial satellites.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on
exploring celestial mechanics.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Principles of celestial mechanics
-
Methods of celestial mechanics
-
Celestial mechanics experiment
-
Perturbation theory
-
Relativistic celestial mechanics
-
Astrodynamics
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue – Celestial Mechanics”
should be chosen during your submission.
According to the
following timetable:
