Symplectic map description of Halley's comet dynamics (Supplementary material)

G. Rollin, P. Haag, J. Lages

Supplementary material associated with Fig. 3 left panel.

Joint animation of the kick function shape fi(xi) (gray thick line on right panel) and its peak amplitude fimax (gray thick line on left panel) for successive pericenter distances q/ai. The red line (the blue line) shows the maximum amplitude of the Keplerian contribution (rotating dipole contribution). The vertical line on the left panel scans the pericenter distances q/ai. Pauses in the animation occur when pericenter distance q/ai matches with relative positions of Solar system planets. On that scale Uranus and Neptune relative positions are not shown.
