AbstractIn the elliptic restricted three body problem an invariant relation between the velocity square of the third body and its potential is studied for long time intervals as well as for different values of the eccentricity. This relation, corresponding to the Jacobian integral in the circular problem, contains an integral expression which can be estimated if one assumes that the potential of the third body remains finite. Then upper and lower boundaries for the equipotential curves can be derived. For large eccentricities or long time intervals the upper boundary increases, while the lower decreases, which can be interpreted as shrinking respectively growing zero velocity curves around the primaries.

In this paper the joint effect of source of radiation and triaxial rigid body has been studied. The energy of Sitnikov's restricted three body problem when primaries are sources of radiation and energy of Sitnikov's restricted problem of three bodies when primaries are triaxial rigid bodies have been studied to calculate the joint effect. Equation of motion of the third body of infitesimal mass, if primaries are sources of radiation and triaxial rigid bodies,  are calculated.    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v12i0.11707BIBECHANA 12 (2015) 53-58

The Sitnikov's problem is a special case of restricted three body problem if the primaries are of equal masses (m1 = m2 = 1/2) moving in circular orbits under Newtonian force of attraction and the third body of mass m3 moves along the line perpendicular to plane of motion of primaries. Here oblate spheroid primaries are taken. The solution of the Sitnikov's circular restricted three body problem has been checked when the primaries are oblate spheroid. We observed that solution is depended on oblate parameter A of the primaries and independent variable τ = ηt. For this the stability of non-trivial solutions with the characteristic equation is studied. The general equation of motion of the infinitesimal mass under mutual gravitational field of two oblate primaries are seen at equilibrium points. Then the stability of infinitesimal third body m3 has been calculated. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v11i0.10395 BIBECHANA 11(1) (2014) 149-156

A canonical transformation of variables is introduced in the plane restricted three-body problem which gives the Hamiltonian in the form of a power series with normalized second order terms. Then a generating function is constructed, step by step, that permits the definition of new action and angle variables, such that the Hamiltonian is independent of the angle variables. This procedure has been done explicitly up to the third order terms.

The paper describes the preliminary design of a phasing trajectory in a cislunar environment, where the third body perturbation is considered non-negligible. The working framework is the one proposed by the ESA’s Heracles mission in which a passive target station is in a Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit and an active vehicle must reach that orbit to start a rendezvous procedure. In this scenario the authors examine three different ways to design such phasing maneuver under the circular restricted three-body problem hypotheses: Lambert/differential correction, Hohmann/differential correction and optimization. The three approaches are compared in terms of ΔV consumption, accuracy and time of flight. The selected solution is also validated under the more accurate restricted elliptic three-body problem hypothesis.

ABSTRACT The important aspects of a dynamical system are its stability and the factors that affect its stability. In this paper, we present an analysis of the effects of the albedo and the disc on the zero velocity curves, the existence of equilibrium points and their linear stability in a generalized restricted three-body problem (RTBP). The proposed problem consists of the motion of an infinitesimal mass under the gravitational field of a radiating-oblate primary, an oblate secondary and a disc that is rotating about the common centre of mass of the system. Significant effects of the albedo and the disc are observed on the zero velocity curves, on the positions of equilibrium points and on the stability region. A linear stability analysis of collinear equilibrium points L1, 2, 3 is performed with respect to the mass parameter μ and albedo parameter QA of the secondary, separately. It is found that L1, 2, 3 are unstable in both cases. However, the non-collinear equilibrium points L4, 5 are stable in a finite range of mass ratio μ. After analysing the individual as well as combined effects of the radiation pressure force of the primary, the albedo force of the secondary, the oblateness of both the primary and secondary and the disc, it is found that these perturbations play a significant role in the design of the trajectories in the vicinity of equilibrium points and in the analysis of their stability property. In the future, the results obtained will improve existing results and will help in the analysis of different space missions. These results are limited to the regular symmetric disc and radiation pressure, which can be extended later.

Against the background of a restricted three-body problem consisting of a supergiant eclipsing binary system, the two primaries are composed of a pair of bright oblate stars whose mass changes with time. The zero-velocity surface and curve of the problem are numerically studied to describe the third body’s motion area, and the corresponding five libration points are obtained. Moreover, the effect of small perturbations, Coriolis and centrifugal forces, radiative pressure, and the oblateness and mass parameters of the two primaries on the third body’s dynamic behavior is discussed through the bifurcation diagram. Furthermore, the second- and third-order approximate analytical periodic solutions around the collinear solution point L3 in two-dimensional plane and three-dimensional spaces are presented by using the Lindstedt-Poincaré perturbation method.

The paper establishes the energy of Stinikov's restricted three body problem when the primaries are source of radiations, oblate spheroids and triaxial rigid bodies. The effect of source of radiations, oblate spheroids and triaxial rigid bodies with their corresponding equation of motions has been studied. The equation of motions of third body is used to calculate the required energy of the infinitesimal body.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2015, 20(1): 59-63
