Validation of Sagnier's theory by its application to the major planets (Q1082834)

The theory of \textit{J. L. Sagnier} [Le mouvement des satellites galiléens de Jupiter, Thesis (1981)] was applied to the major planets, in order to have a first evaluation of this theory which was built, primarily, to study the galilean satellites of Jupiter. In this application we included the first order of the intermediary solution and the solution of the linear variational equations. Results from other theories have been used as basis for comparisons. The results and their comparisons are shown by means of tables of coefficients and proper frequencies and graphs of variations of the orbital elements.
