Hi,
I've plotted the different vectorial components of the velocity
vector, and distance to the Sun on the same graph, and curiously
enough, the "y component" of the velocity vector (and probably of
the distance vector, although I've not plotted it) seems to be in
phase with the change in decay rates. Here is the graph:

The different plots are:
red: radial distance (normalized)
green: total velocity(normalized)
blue, magenta, cyan: Vx, Vy, Vz
As you can see, the magenta line seems to nicely match the
Brookhaven decay data. This can be no more than a coincidence, and
more analysis is clearly necessary.
This "Vy component" is the velocity (also an equivalent
displacement, although I prefer to talk about velocities)
perpendicular to the major axis of the Sun-Earth ellipse, because
the "x component" is aligned with the perihelion-aphelion axis.
I'll now try to produce a graph on the same scale as the bnl graph,
to superpose them and see how close the match really is.
Best regards,
Mauro
