Kepler third law: T² = (4π²/GM)·a³ from two-body Hamiltonian

Layer 1 — Physicsin the planetary-physics subtree

Kepler 1609-1619 empirically inferred three laws from Tycho Brahe's planetary observations: (K1) planetary orbits are ellipses with the Sun at one focus; (K2) the radius vector sweeps equal areas in equal times; (K3) the period squared is…
