AbstractIn the three-dimensional restricted three-body problem, the existence of resonant periodic solutions about L4 is shown and expansions for them are constructed for special values of the mass parameter, by means of a perturbation method. These solutions form a second family of periodic orbits bifurcating from the triangular equilibrium point. This bifurcation is the evolution, as μ varies continuously, of a regular vertical bifurcation point on the corresponding family of planar periodic solutions emanating from L4.
