AbstractThe existence of transversal ejection—collision orbits in the restricted three-body problem is shown to imply, via the KAM theorem, the existence, for certain intervals of (large) values of the Jacobi constant, of an uncountable number of invariant punctured tori in the corresponding (non-compact) energy surface. The proof is based on a comparison between Levi-Civita and McGehee regularizing variables. That these transversal ejection-collision orbits do actually exist was proved in [5] in the case where one of the primaries has a small mass and the zero-mass body revolves around the other (and for all values of the Jacobi constant compatible with the existence of three connected components for the Hill region); it is proved here without any restriction on the masses, well in the spirit of Conley's thesis [3].
