Benchmark quantities
Heat equation
Define variables when equation is used for temperature: u=temperature, k = k_therm / (c*rho)
Define variable when equation refers to diffusion: u = density???
Draft for additions to Hill_sphere New sections:

L1 Lagrange point for comparable-mass objects
Usually, derivations of the L1 point assume a planetary mass that is much less than the star's mass. This no longer applies if the orbiting objects have comparable masses. This is the case for many binary star systems. For example, in the Alpha Centauri system, the stars Alpha Centauri A and B have masses that are 1.1 and 0.9 times that of the Sun, respectively, or a mass ratio of about 0.8.
For two equal-mass objects, let R be the distance between the objects. Each object is then in a circular orbit of radius R/2 about the center of mass, which is halfway between them.
Outline:
We follow the derivation for small planet/star mass ratio given at http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Slagrang.htm, without making the small-ratio approximations that are incorporated there.
Planet/star mass ratio , with
Equate the gravitational force (which acts at a distance R) with the centripetal force (for a circle of radius ):
Mult by R/m:
Substitute for
An small-mass object at the L1 point, a distance r from object m, will have an orbit with radius and the same period T:
,
so
Since T is the same for the planet and an object at the L1 point,
Divide through by GM
Didymos
The asteroid Didymos and its smaller, satellite asteroid Dimorphos comprise a binary asteroid system within the solar system.
