Averaging Tesseral Effects: Closed Form Relegation versus Expansions of Elliptic Motion

Figure 5

Errors in the orbital elements of an almost-circular, Galileo-type orbit when tesseral short-period effects are recovered with one iteration of the relegation. Abscissas are orbital periods, corresponding to one month propagation.
