Draft:Pyramid Orbit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In astronomical terms, a pyramid orbit is an orbit around a massive black hole in a triaxial galaxy.[1] Such orbit has not yet been attempted. The orbit can be described as a Keplerian ellipse that precesses around the black hole in two orthogonal directions, due to torques from the triaxial galaxy. [2]
