AbstractBased on the concept of orbital stability introduced by G. W. Hill, a method is presented to facilitate the determination of the orbital stability of solutions to the planar elliptic restricted problem of three bodies. The invariant relation introduced by Szebehely and Giacaglia (1964) contains an integral which is expanded here about a Keplerian solution to the problem. If the expansion converges, it can be used to determine the conditions for Hill stability. With it one can also define stability in a periodic sense.

AbstractA linearised treatment is presented of vertical bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits(bifurcations of plane with three-dimensional orbits) in the circular restricted problem. Recent work on bifurcations from vertical-critical orbits (av = ±1) is extended to deal with the v more general situation of bifurcations from vertical self-resonant orbits (av = cos(2Πn/m) for integer m,n) and it is shown that in this more general case bifurcating families of three-dimensional orbits always occur in pairs, the orbital symmetry properties being governed by the evenness or oddness of the integer m. The applicability of the theory to the elliptic restricted problem is discussed.
