Zero-velocity surface
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A zero-velocity surface is a concept that relates to the N-body problem of gravity. It represents a surface a body of given energy cannot cross, since it would have zero velocity on the surface. It was first introduced by George William Hill.[2] The zero-velocity surface is particularly significant when working with weak gravitational interactions among orbiting bodies.
