Divergence-free spherical harmonic gravity field modelling based on the Runge–Krarup theorem: a case study for the Moon

Recent numerical studies on external gravity field modelling show that external spherical harmonic series may diverge near or on planetary surfaces. This paper investigates an alternative solution that is still based on external spherical harmonic series, but capable of avoiding the divergence effec...
