Animation of barycenters In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; from Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) 'heavy' and κέντρον (kéntron) 'center') is the center...

periodic orbits are ellipses. The barycenter of the two bodies may lie well within the bigger body—e.g., the Earth–Moon barycenter is about 75% of the way from...

mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted...

The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one revolution relative to the Vernal Equinox and the stars in about 27.32 days (a tropical...

also called Laplace's invariable plane, is the plane passing through its barycenter (center of mass) perpendicular to its angular momentum vector. In the...

equations (1) and (2) results in an equation describing the center of mass (barycenter) motion. By contrast, subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) results...

also affected by Earth's gravity and so orbits around the two bodies' barycenter, which is well inside the body of the Sun. An object at Earth's distance...

massive enough (nearly one eighth of the mass of Pluto) that the system's barycenter lies between them, approximately 960 km above Pluto's surface. Charon...

barycenter, which is a point that is in space between the two bodies; and Pluto also moves in an ellipse with one of its foci at that same barycenter...

Barycentric can refer to: In astronomy, Barycenter or barycentre, the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit each other Barycentric coordinates...

space debris orbit the system's barycenter in elliptical orbits. A comet in a parabolic or hyperbolic orbit about a barycenter is not gravitationally bound...

Pluto and Charon are sometimes considered a binary system because the barycenter of their orbits does not lie within either body, and they are tidally...

spacecraft, or star) is the speed at which it orbits around either the barycenter (the combined center of mass) or, if one body is much more massive than...

distance r1 from the center of the first star to the center of mass or barycenter is given by r 1 = a ⋅ m 2 m 1 + m 2 = a 1 + m 1 m 2 , {\displaystyle r_{1}=a\cdot...

heliocentric orbit (also called circumsolar orbit) is an orbit around the barycenter of the Solar System, which is usually located within or very near the...

the barycenter by an amount known as the CFSE. Conversely, the eg orbitals (in the octahedral case) are higher in energy than in the barycenter, so putting...

of that system's mass and will generally be located near the system's barycenter. In the Solar System, the Sun is the primary for all objects that orbit...

similar elliptic orbits with the same orbital period around their common barycenter. Also the relative position of one body with respect to the other follows...

both objects are planets, or planetary-mass objects, and whose joint barycenter is external to both planetary bodies. Although up to a third of the star...
