Precise Analytical Computation of Frozen-Eccentricity, Low Earth Orbits in a Tesseral Potential
Figure 7
Eccentricity vector evolution of the frozen-eccentricity orbits when incorporating short-period effects from zonals (blue points) and also from tesserals (red points) superimposed to the eccentricity vector diagram in mean elements. Left: almost circular frozen-eccentricity orbit. Right: elliptic, unstable frozen-eccentricity orbit.
