Separation of variables in one case of motion of a gyrostat acted upon by gravity and magnetic fields

Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): M.P. Kharlamov , H.M. Yehia A version of the integrable problem of motion of a dynamically symmetric gyrostat about a fixed point similar to the Kowalevski top, while acted upon by a combination of uniform gravity and magnetic fields is considered. This version is reduced, in general, to hyperelliptic quadratures. The special case when the gyrostatic momentum is absent is solved in terms of elliptic functions of time.
