NAME:
kepler1
PURPOSE: (one line only)
Solve Kepler's Equation (small eccentricity)
DESCRIPTION:
Solve Kepler's Equation. Method by S. Mikkola (1987) Celestial
Mechanics, 40 , 329-334.
result from Mikkola then used as starting value for
Newton-Raphson iteration to extend the applicability of this
function to higher eccentricities, Courtesy of Joern Wilms.
