Does anyone know if that visualization is representative or just an illustration? I’m struggling with how all these parameters (mass, speed, and relative direction for all three objects) could map to a fractal on a 2 dimensional plane.
- rcxdude 2y agoThe study didn't plot the entire state space. It's simply a map of the end state of a limited space of parameters (specifically, the mass of the objects is fixed, two of them are in a particular orbit, and basically only the angle and timing of when the third object approaches is varied). The plot just shows which object gets thrown out of the system for each initial configuration.
- didgeoridoo 2y agoThat makes a huge amount more sense. Thanks!
