Elliptical Orbit Node Passage Time, Eric Addison

Eric Addison

The node passage time is calculated in order to gain an understanding of the kind of velocities and time scales will be involved in BEMRI simulations during close encounters with the SMBH. The result is generalized to produce a function of time with respect to theta, t(θ).
