  /**
   * This class handles equinoctial orbital parameters, which can support both
   * circular and equatorial orbits.
   * <p>
   * The parameters used internally are the equinoctial elements which can be
   * related to Keplerian elements as follows:
   *   <pre>
   *     a
   *     ex = e cos(ω + Ω)
   *     ey = e sin(ω + Ω)
   *     hx = tan(i/2) cos(Ω)
   *     hy = tan(i/2) sin(Ω)
   *     lv = v + ω + Ω
   *   </pre>
   * where ω stands for the Perigee Argument and Ω stands for the
   * Right Ascension of the Ascending Node.
   *
   * <p>
   * The conversion equations from and to Keplerian elements given above hold only
   * when both sides are unambiguously defined, i.e. when orbit is neither equatorial
   * nor circular. When orbit is either equatorial or circular, the equinoctial
   * parameters are still unambiguously defined whereas some Keplerian elements
   * (more precisely ω and Ω) become ambiguous. For this reason, equinoctial
   * parameters are the recommended way to represent orbits. Note however than
   * the present implementation does not handle non-elliptical cases.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The instance <code>EquinoctialOrbit</code> is guaranteed to be immutable.
