(R1508) Stability And Zero Velocity Curves In The Perturbed Restricted Problem Of 2 + 2 Bodies, Rajiv Aggarwal, Dinesh Kumar, Bhavneet Kaur

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present study investigates the existence and linear stability of the equilibrium points in the restricted problem of 2+2 bodies including the effect of small perturbations epsilon-1 and espilon-2 in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces respectively. The less massive primary is considered as a straight segment and the more massive primary a point mass. The equations of motion of the infinitesimal bodies are derived.We obtain fourteen equilibrium points of the model, out of which six are collinear and rest non-collinear with the centers of the primaries. The position of the equilibrium points are affected by the small perturbation in centrifugal …

(R1464) Stability Of The Artificial Equilibrium Points In The Low-Thrust Restricted Three-Body Problem With Variable Mass, Amit Mittal, Krishan Pal, Pravata Kumar Behera, Deepak Mittal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, we have investigated the existence and stability of the artificial equilibrium points (AEPs) in the low-thrust restricted three-body problem with variable mass. In this model of the low-thrust restricted three-body problem, we have considered both the primaries as point masses. The mass of the spacecraft varies with time according to Jeans’ law (1928). We have introduced a new concept for creating the AEPs in the restricted three-body problem with variable mass using continuous constant acceleration. We have derived the equations of motion of the spacecraft after using the space-time transformations of Meshcherskii. The AEPs have been created …
