Abstract

Kinoshita and Nakai (Celest. Mech. Dyn. Astr. 75, 125-147, 1999) gave the analytical solution of the Kozai mechanism. In this solution the eccentricity and the inclination of a disturbed body take any value, but the argument of the pericenter is restricted to take 0° or 90°. In this paper, we derive the general solution that can be applied for any value of the argument of the pericenter. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007.
