Summary
The HEI [see footnote (1)] equations can be understood with the assumption that each body moves along a geodesic in the field of the other one, due regard being paid to the acceleration the second body experiences from the first.
Riassunto
Le equazioni di moto contenute in HEI [vedi nota (1)] trovano un’interpretazione nell’ipotesi che ogni corpo si muove secondo una geodetica nel campo dell’altro, tenuto debito conto dell’accelerazione che a questo è impressa dal primo.
