Orbital eccentricity, in astrodynamics, calculated from orbital state vectors as an absolute value of eccentricity vector or using other methods based on orbital energy and angular momentum.
Eccentric anomaly, the angle between the direction of
periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit.Eccentric (astronomy), a type of

(n.)
