Note on the generalized Hansen and Laplace coefficients

Abstract: Recently, Breiter et al (2004) reported the computation of Hansen coefficients

X_{k}^{g a m m a, m}

for non integer values of

g a m m a

. In fact, the Hansen coefficients are closely related to the Laplace

b_{s}^{(m)}

, and generalized Laplace coefficients

b_{s, r}^{(m)}

(Laskar and Robutel, 1995) that do not require

s, r

to be integers. In particular, the coefficients

X_{0}^{g, m}

have very simple expressions in terms of the usual Laplace coefficients

b_{g + 2}^{(m)}

, and all their properties derive easily from the known properties of the Laplace coefficients.
