Fully agreed, this note crossed with a note I have just sent over.
definition of velocity
To: Myron Evans <myronevans123>
In the notes of UFT 404 you used the definition
v = dr/dt.
It is the question if this is the radial compontent of the velocity, this is zero at the apsidal angles. This would explain the overestimation of the precessional effects when usind the modulus of the orbital velocity.
