Abstract
In this paper we discuss the resolution of Kepler’s equation in all eccentricity regimes. To avoid rounding off problems we find a suitable starting point for Newton’s method in the hyperbolic case. Then, we analytically prove that Kepler’s equation undergoes a smooth transition around parabolic orbits. This regularity allows us to fix known numerical issues in the near parabolic region and results in a non-singular iterative technique to solve Kepler’s equation for any kind of orbit. We measure the performance and the robustness of this technique by comprehensive numerical tests.
