    Abstract: Calculating the gravitational potential generated by non-spherical mass distributions is an old problem that has been tackled by astronomical researchers. The majority of small celestial objects have an elongated shape with a non-uniform mass distribution. Early work in this field modelled these elongated bodies as segments with a uniform mass dist...

    Abstract: This paper presents the derivation of Lorentz transformations in curvilinear coordinates utilizing generalized biquaternions. Generalized biquaternions are rotations in curvilinear coordinates, including on the tx, ty, and tz planes. These space-time rotations are precisely the Lorentz transformations in curvilinear coordinates. The orbital rotatio... Show More
