This paper represents a semi-analytical study of the effect of ground-based laser radiation pressure on the location of triangular points in the framework of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP). The formulation includes both the effects of oblateness of J2 in addition to laser radiation pressure, where laser’s disturbing function expanded in Legendre polynomials up to the first order. Earth-Moon system is considered in which a laser station is located on Earth and sends laser beams toward the infinitesimal body. The model takes into account the effect of Earth's atmosphere on laser beam propagation. The numerical application emphasis that the location of the triangular points affected by the considered perturbations.

The perturbing effects of the Poynting-Robertson drag on motion of an infinitesimal mass around triangular Lagrangian points of the circular restricted three-body problem under small perturbations in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces when the three bodies are oblate spheroids and the primaries are emitters of radiation pressure, is the focus of this paper. The equations governing the dynamical system have been derived and locations of triangular Lagrangian points are determined. It is seen that the locations are influenced by the perturbing forces of centrifugal perturbation and the oblateness, radiation pressure and, P-R drag of the primaries. Using the software Mathematica, numerical analysis are carried out to demonstrate how the dynamical elements: mass ratio, oblateness, radiation pressure, P-R drag and centrifugal perturbation influence the positions of triangular equilibrium points, zero velocity surfaces and the stability. Our investigation reveals that, though the radiation pressure, oblateness and centrifugal perturbation decrease region of stability when motion is stable, however, they are not the influential forces of instability but the P-R drag. In the region when motion around the triangular points are stable an inclusion of the P-R drag of the bigger primary even by an almost negligible value of 1.04548*10-9 overrides other effect and changes stability to instability. Hence, we conclude that the P-R drag is a strong perturbing force which changes stability to instability and motion around triangular Lagrangian points remain unstable in the presence of the P-R drag.

This paper explores the motion of an infinitesimal body around the triangular equilibrium points in the framework of circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) with the postulation that the primaries are triaxial rigid bodies, radiating in nature and are also under the influence of Poynting–Robertson (P-R) drag. We study the linear stability of these triangular points and for the numerical application, the binary stars Kruger 60 (AB) and Archird have been considered. These triangular points are not only perceived to move towards the line joining the primaries in the direction of the bigger primary with increasing triaxiality, they are also unstable owing to the destabilizing influence of P-R drag.

We investigate in the framework of the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP), the influence of the zonal harmonics (J2and J4) of the primary and the radiation pressure of the secondary on the positions and stability of the triangular equilibrium points. The triangular points of the problem are affected by the parameters involved in the systems’ dynamics. The positions change with increase in the zonal harmonics, eccentricity and radiation pressure. The triangular points remain stable in the interval 0<μ<μcas shown arbitrarily.

Abstract The present paper studies the locations and linear stability of the triangular equilibrium points when both primaries are radiating and considered as heterogeneous spheroid with three layers of different densities. Additionally, we include the effects of small perturbations in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces and potential from a belt (circumbinary disc). It is observed that the positions of the triangular equilibrium points are substantially affected by all parameters (except a perturbation in Coriolis force) involved in the system.The stabilty of motion is found only when $$0 < \mu < \mu_{c}$$ 0 < μ < μ c , where $$\mu_{c}$$ μ c is the critical mass value which depends on the combined effect of radiation pressures and heterogeneity of the primaries, small perturbations and the potential from a belt.It is also seen that the Coriolis force and the belt have stabilizing effect,while the centrifugal force, radiation and heterogeineity of the primaries have destabilizing behaviour.The net effect is that the size of the region of stability decreases when the value of these parameters increases where $$\mu$$ μ is the mass ratio and $$k_{1} ,k_{2}$$ k 1 , k 2 characterize heterogeneity of both primaries. A practical application of this model could be the study of motion of a dust grain near the heterogeneous and luminous binary stars surrounded by a belt.Finally, we carried out and discuss numerical experiments aiming at computing the positions of triangular points and critical masses of three binary systems: Archid, Xi Booties and Kruger 60.

The oblateness and the photogravitational effects of both the primaries on the location and the stability of the triangular equilibrium points in the elliptical restricted three-body problem have been discussed. The stability of the triangular points under the photogravitational and oblateness effects of both the primaries around the binary systems Achird, Lyeten, Alpha Cen-AB, Kruger 60, and Xi-Bootis, has been studied using simulation techniques by drawing different curves of zero velocity.

The linear stability of equilibrium points of a test particle of infinitesimal mass in the framework of Robe's circular restricted three-body problem, as in Hallan and Rana, together with effect of variation in masses of the primaries with time according to the combined Meshcherskii law, is investigated. It is seen that, due to a small perturbation in the centrifugal force and an arbitrary constant of a particular integral of the Gylden-Meshcherskii problem, every point on the line joining the centers of the primaries is an equilibrium point provided they lie within the shell. Further, a number of pairs of equilibrium points lying on the -plane and forming triangles with the centers of the shell and the second primary exist, for some values of . The points collinear with the center of the shell are found to be stable under some conditions and the range of stability depends on the small perturbations and , while the triangular points are unstable. Illustrative numerical exploration is given to indicate significant improvement of the problem in Hallan and Rana.

AbstractThe present paper investigates the motion of the variable infinitesimal body in circular restricted four variable bodies problem. We have constructed the equations of motion of the infinitesimal variable mass under the effect of source of radiation pressure due to which albedo effects are produced by another two primaries and one primary is considered as an oblate body which is placed at the triangular equilibrium point of the classical restricted three-body problem and also the variation of Jacobi Integral constant has been determined. We have studied numerically the equilibrium points, Poincaré surface of sections and basins of attraction in five cases (i. Third primary is placed at one of the triangular equilibrium points of the classical restricted three-body problem, ii. Variation of masses, iii. Solar radiation pressure, iv. Albedo effect, v. Oblateness effect.) by using Mathematica software. Finally, we have examined the stability of the equilibrium points and found that all the equilibrium points are unstable.

<p>In this paper, we have performed first order normalization in the photogravitational elliptic restricted three body problem  with Poynting-Robertson drag. We suppose that bigger primary as radiating and smaller primary is an oblate spheroid. We have found the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian of the problem. Then, we have expanded the Lagrangian function in power series of x and y, where (x, y) are the coordinates of the triangular equilibrium points. Using Whittaker (1965) method, we have found that the second order part H<sub>2</sub> of the Hamiltonian is transformed into the normal form.</p>

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.
