A new radial, natural, higher order intermediary of the main problem four decades after the elimination of the parallax
Abstract
Simplifications in dealing with the equation of the center when the short-period effects are removed from a zonal Hamiltonian are commonly attributed to the elimination of parallactic terms. But this interpretation is incorrect, and the simplifications rather stem from the removal of concomitant long-period terms, an outcome that can also be achieved without need of eliminating the parallax. To show that, a Lie transforms simplification is invented that augments the exponents of the inverse of the radius and still achieves analogous simplifications in handling the equation of the center to those provided by the classical elimination of the parallax simplification. The particular case in which the new transformation does not modify the exponents of the parallactic terms of the original problem, leads to a new intermediary of the main problem that, while keeping higher order effects of J2, is formally analogous to Cid's first order radial intermediary.
