Scaled_ellipses.png
Summary
Figure showing ellipses of a common eccentricity ( e =0.9) being scaled by λ 2 , where λ=1 (blue), 2 (green) and 3 (red). Useful in illustrating the Lie transformation that results in the conservation of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector. Made by me using my own GPL software (written 29 November 2006), visualized using xmgrace and released under the GFDL.
This

image could be re-created
using
vector graphics
as an

. This has several advantages; see
Commons:Media for cleanup
for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Scaled ellipses.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter. |
