El argumento del periastro (símbolo ) es uno de los elementos orbitales utilizados para especificar la órbita de un cuerpo celeste. Es el ángulo que va desde el nodo ascendente hasta el periastro, medido en el plano orbital del objeto y en su sentido de su movimiento. Para órbitas ecuatoriales, en los que no hay nodo ascendente, y para órbitas circulares, que no tienen periastro, no está definido. Para objetos que orbitan el Sol, se llama argumento del perihelio y para objetos que orbitan la Tierra, argumento del perigeo.ru:Кеплеровы элементы орбиты#Аргумент перицентра

The argument of periapsis (also called argument of perifocus or argument of pericenter), symbolized as ω, is one of the orbital elements of an orbiting body. Parametrically, ω is the angle from the body's ascending node to its periapsis, measured in the direction of motion. For specific types of orbits, words such as perihelion (for Sun-centered orbits), perigee (for Earth-centered orbits), periastron (for orbits around stars) and so on may replace the word periapsis. See apsis for more information. An argument of periapsis of 0° means that the orbiting body will be at its closest approach to the central body at the same moment that it crosses the plane of reference from South to North. An argument of periapsis of 90° means that the orbiting body will reach periapsis at its northmost distance from the plane of reference. Adding the argument of periapsis to the longitude of the ascending node gives the longitude of the periapsis. However, especially in discussions of binary stars and exoplanets, the terms "longitude of periapsis" or "longitude of periastron" are often used synonymously with "argument of periapsis".
