Study Of The Restricted Three Body Problem When One Primary Is A Uniform Circular Disk, Mohd. Arif, Ravi K. Sagar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we have studied the location and stability of the equilibrium points in the restricted three body problem by taking into consideration the bigger primary as an uniform circular disc. We have observed that there exist six collinear (Li, i = 1::6) and two non-collinear (Li, i = 7; 8) equilibrium points.We have found that the points L1 and L3 move towards the center of mass while L2, L4, L5 and L6 go away from the center of mass as parameter of mass μ increases.We have also observed that the points L1, L2 and L3 move away from …
