12 603: Solar System Dynamics
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Introduction to chaotic behavior in conservative systems, with examples drawn primarily from the rotation and orbital dynamics of planets and satellites. Includes surfaces of section, Lyapunov exponents, perturbation theory, KAM theorem, resonances, onset of chaos, double pendulum, Henon-Heiles problem, restricted three-body problem, spin-orbit coupling, orbital resonances, adiabatic invariants, adiabatic chaos, tidal evolution, capture into resonance, and stability of the solar system.

12 611: Advanced Planetary Observations
0.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Astronomical observations involving several techniques are carried out at a major observatory, with focus on a particular set of objectives that change from year to year. Work includes: critical planning of the observations; acquiring the data; calibrating the data; and on-site data reduction.

12 616: Occultations, Eclipses, and Transits
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Basic principles underlying occultation, eclipse, and transit phenomena, by solar system bodies and extra-solar planets, as observed throughout the electromagnetic spectrum from spacecraft and Earth-based platforms. Methods for predicting the times and locations where these phenomena will be visible and the techniques used for their observation. Data interpretation through physical modeling of the interaction (including gravitational lensing) of electromagnetic radiation with planetary limbs, rings, and atmospheres.

12 620J: Classical Mechanics: A Computational Approach
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Classical mechanics in a computational framework, Lagrangian formulation, action, variational principles, and Hamilton's principle. Conserved quantities, Hamiltonian formulation, surfaces of section, chaos, and Liouville's theorem. Poincare integral invariants, Poincare-Birkhoff and KAM theorems. Invariant curves and cantori. Nonlinear resonances, resonance overlap and transition to chaos. Symplectic integration. Adiabatic invariants. Applications to simple physical systems and solar system dynamics. Extensive use of computation to capture methods, for simulation, and for symbolic analysis. Programming experience required. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.
