Brouwer's satellite solution redux

Abstract

Brouwer's solution to the artificial satellite problem is revisited to show that the complete Hamiltonian reduction is rather achieved in the plain Poincar\'e's style, through a single canonical transformation, than using a sequence of partial reductions based on von Zeipel's alternative for dealing with perturbed degenerate Hamiltonian systems.
