Keplerian
  کپلری   
Kepleri

Fr.: keplerien   

Of or pertaining to Johannes Kepler or to his works or discoveries.

From → Kepler + -ian a suffix forming adjectives.

Keplerian angular velocity
  تندای ِ زاویه‌ای ِ کپلری   
tondâ-ye zâviye-yi-ye Kepleri

Fr.: vitesse angulaire keplérienne   

The angular velocity of a point in a circular orbit around a central mass. It is given by: ΩK = (GM/r3)1/2, where G is the → gravitational constant, M is the mass of the gravitating object, and r is the radius of the orbit of the point around the object.

Keplerian; → angular; → velocity.

Keplerian disk
  گرده‌ی ِ کپلری، دیسک ِ ~   
gerde-ye Kepleri, disk-e ~

Fr.: disque keplérien   

A circumstellar disk (such as an → accretion disk or a → protoplanetary disk) in which the → angular velocity at each radius is equal to the angular velocity of a circular → Keplerian orbit at the same radius. The main characteristic of the Keplerian disk is that → orbital velocity varies as r-1/2. This means that an object on an orbit closer to the central mass turns more rapidly than that on a farther orbit. This velocity difference is at the origin of internal friction or kinematic viscous forces between disk particles, which heats up the material.

Keplerian; → disk.

Keplerian orbit
  مدار ِ کپلری   
madâr-e Kepleri (#)

Fr.: orbit keplérienne   

The orbit of a spherical object of a finite mass around another spherical object, also of finite mass, governed by their mutual → gravitational forces only.

Keplerian; → orbit.

Keplerian orbital velocity
  تندای ِ مدار ِ کپلری   
tondâ-ye madâr-e Kepleri

Fr.: vitesse d'orbite képlérienne   

The velocity of an object orbiting another object according to → Kepler's laws.

Keplerian; → orbital; → velocity.

Keplerian rotation curve
  خم ِ چرخش ِ کپلری   
xam-e carxeš-e Kepleri (#)

Fr.: courbe de rotation keplérienne   

A → rotation curve in which the speed of the orbiting body is inversely proportional to the → square root of its distance from the mass concentrated at the center of the system.

Keplerian; → rotation; → curve.

Keplerian shear
  کرن ِ کپلری   
karn-e Kepleri

Fr.: cisaillement keplerien   

Shearing motion of an ensemble of particles, each on a nearly circular, → Keplerian orbit. → Orbital velocity decreases as orbital radius increases, yielding shear. Viscous drag on such shear, due to ring-particle collisions, plays a key role in ring processes (Ellis et al., 2007, Planetary Ring Systems, Springer).

Keplerian; → shear.

Keplerian telescope
  دوربین ِ کپلر، تلسکوپ ِ ~   
durbin-e Kepler, teleskop-e ~ (#)

Fr.: télescope de Kepler   

A → refracting telescope which has simple → convex lenses for both → objective and → eyepiece. It suffers from → chromatic aberration, which can be reduced by increasing the → focal ratio. It was first devised by Kepler in 1615.

Keplerian; → telescope.
