Deviation Patterns of the Orbital Trajectories of the Galilean Satellites

獲獎作品摘要

This study of the Jovian system aims to determine the patterns of deviation magnitude produced from the orbital trajectories of the Galilean satellites based on three different parameters: theoretical orbital parameters (Model 1), SPICE (Spacecraft-Planetary Instrument C-Matrix-Events) actual positional data (Model 2), and the Jovian gravitational field (Model 3). Holding Model 2 as the control, the most accurate parameter to model the orbital trajectories of the Galilean satellites was determined by analyzing deviation patterns produced from deviation plots between Models 1 & 2 (Deviation Plot A) and Models 2 & 3 (Deviation Plot B). Deviation Plot A produced sinusoidal deviation patterns due to trajectorial micro-oscillations for each satellite caused by trigonometric construction of elliptical trajectories; Deviation Plot B produced linear deviation patterns because of the Eulerian integration algorithm simulating the Jovian gravitational field, causing sinusoidal fluctuations in both Models 2 & 3, resulting in linear increase in deviation. Because the p-value for each t-test performed between Deviation Plots A & B for each satellite was less than alpha (0.05), the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, thus concluding that there is a statistically significant difference between the orbital trajectory deviations produced from Deviation Plots A & B. The Eulerian integration algorithm in Model 3 can accurately predict future orbital trajectories of the Galilean satellites and any other celestial bodies confined within the Kuiper Belt because the algorithm uses an initial position derived from SPICE which contains state vectors for nearly every celestial body within the Kuiper Belt.

高中生科研學術活動 英特爾 Intel ISEF 簡介

英特爾國際科學與工程大獎賽，簡稱 "ISEF"，由美國 Society for Science and the Public（科學和公共服務協會）主辦，英特爾公司冠名贊助，是全球規模最大、等級最高的中學生的科研科創賽事。ISEF 的學術活動學科包括了所有數學、自然科學、工程的全部領域和部分社會科學。ISEF 素有全球青少年科學學術活動的“世界杯”之美譽，旨在鼓勵學生團隊協作，開拓創新，長期專一深入地研究自己感興趣的課題。

學科簡介：物理與天文學 Physics and Astronomy

Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two. Astronomy is the study of anything in the universe beyond the Earth.

Subcategories:

Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics?(AMO):?The?study of atoms, simple molecules, electrons, light, and their interactions.? Projects studying?non-solid state?lasers and masers also belong in this subcategory.

Astronomy and Cosmology?(AST):?The study of space,? the universe as a whole, including its origins and evolution, the physical properties of objects in space and computational astronomy.

Biological Physics?(BIP):?The study of the physics of biological processes and systems.

Condensed Matter and Materials?(MAT):?The study of the properties of solids and liquids. Topics such as superconductivity, semi-conductors, complex fluids, and thin films are studied.

Mechanics?(MEC):?Classical physics and mechanics, including the macroscopic study of forces, vibrations and flows; on solid, liquid and gaseous materials.?Projects studying aerodynamics or hydrodynamics also belong in this subcategory.

Nuclear and Particle Physics?(NUC):?The study of the physical properties of the atomic nucleus and of fundamental particles and the forces of their interaction.?Projects developing particle detectors also belong in this subcategory.

Theoretical, Computational, and Quantum Physics?(THE):?The study of nature, phenomena and the laws of physics employing mathematical or computational methods?rather than experimental processes.

Other?(OTH):?Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
