Abstract

The orbits in any central potential are described analytically and new expressions are derived for their periods and precession rates. A simple perturbation theory allows their delineation to any accuracy. Kepler's equation is generalized to such orbits and angle and action variables are given for them. A new property of orbits under inverse fifth power forces is found.
