The motion is investigated of dust/gas particles in the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP) in which the less massive primary is an oblate spheroid and the more massive a luminous body surrounded by a circumbinary disk. The paper has investigated both analytically and numerically the effects of oblateness and radiation pressure of the primaries respectively together with the gravitational potential from a disk on the triangular equilibrium L4,5 of the system, all in the elliptic framework of the restricted problem of three bodies. The important result obtained therein is a move towards the line joining the primaries in the presence of any /all perturbation(s). A significant shift away from the origin as the radiation pressure factor decreases and oblateness of the smaller primary increase is also observed. It is also seen that, all aforementioned parameters in the region of stability have destabilizing tendencies resulting in a decrease in the size of the region of stability except the gravitational potential from the disc. The binary system Ruchbah in the constellation Cassiopeiae is an excellent model for the problem, using the analytic results obtained, the locations of the triangular points and the critical mass parameter are computed numerically.

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.

Locations of the Lagrangian points are computed and periodic orbits are studied around the triangular points in the photogravitational elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP) by considering the more massive primary as the source of radiation and smaller primary as an oblate spheroid. A new mean motion taken from Sharma et al. [13] is used to study the effect of radiation pressure and oblateness of the primaries. The critical mass parameter  that bifurcates periodic orbits from non-periodic orbits tends to reduce with radiation pressure and oblateness. The transition curves defining stable region of orbits are drawn for different values of radiation pressure and oblateness using the analytical method of Bennet [14]. Tadpole orbits with long- and short- periodic oscillations are obtained for Sun-Jupiter and Sun-Saturn systems.

<p>This paper studies effects of the triaxiality and radiation pressure of both the primaries on the stability of the infinitesimal motion about triangular equilibrium points in the elliptical restricted three body problem(ER3BP), assuming that the bigger and the smaller primaries are triaxial and the source of radiation as well. It is observed that the motion around these points is stable under certain condition with respect to the radiation pressure and oblate triaxiality. The critical mass ratio depends on the radiation pressure, triaxiality, semi -major axis and eccentricity of the orbits. It is further analyzed that an increase in any of these parameters has destabilizing effects on the orbits of the infinitesimal.</p>

Progression of f-type family of periodic orbits, their nature, stability and location nearer the smaller primary for different mass ratios in the framework of circular restricted three-body problem is studied using Poincaré surfaces of section. The orbits around the smaller primary are found to decrease in size with increase in Jacobian Constant C, and move very close towards the smaller primary. The orbit bifurcates into two orbits with the increase in C to 4.2. The two orbits that appear for this value of C belong to two adjacent separate families: one as direct orbit belonging to family g of periodic orbits and other one as retrograde orbit belonging to family f of periodic orbits. This bifurcation is interesting. These orbits increase in size with increase in mass ratio. The elliptic orbits found within the mass ratio 0 < µ ≤ 0.1 have eccentricity less than 0.2 and the orbits found above the mass ratio µ > 0.1 are elliptical orbits with eccentricity above 0.2. Deviations in the parameters: eccentricity, semi-major axis and time period of these orbits with solar radiation pressure q are computed in the frame work of photogravitational restricted Three-body problem in addition to the restricted three-body problem. These parameters are found to decrease with increase in the solar radiation pressure.

We explore the merging of resonant periodic orbits in the frame work of planar circular restricted three body problem with the help of Poincaré surface of section. We have studied the effect of solar radiation pressure on 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1 periodic orbits. It is found that radiation pressure helps in merging these orbits (4:3 and 3.2 into 1:1 resonance and 2:1 into 1:1 resonance). At the time of merging these orbits become near-circular. The period and size of these orbits reduce with the increase in radiation pressure.

The triangular Lagrangian points of the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ERTBP) with oblate and radiating more massive primary are studied. The mean motion equation used here is different from the ones employed in many studies on the perturbed ERTBP. The effect of oblateness on the mean motion equation varies. This change influences the location and stability of the triangular Lagrangian points. The points tend to shift in the y-direction. The influence of the oblateness on the critical mass ratio is also altered. But the eccentricity limit  for stability remains the same.

The Earth–Moon libration points are of interest for future missions and have been proposed for both storage of propellant and supplies for lunar missions and as locations to establish space-based facilities for human missions. Thus, further development of an available transport network in the vicinity of the Moon is valuable. In this investigation, a methodology to search for transfers between periodic lunar libration point orbits is developed, and a catalog of these transfers is established, assuming the dynamics associated with the Earth–Moon circular restricted three-body problem. Maneuver-free transfers, i.e. heteroclinic and homoclinic connections, are considered, as well as transfers that require relatively small levels of [Formula: see text]. Considering the evolution of Earth–Moon transfers as the mass parameter is reduced, a relationship emerges between the available transfers in the Earth–Moon system and maneuver-free transfers that exist within the Hill three-body problem. The correlation between transfers in these systems is examined and offers insight into the existence of solutions within the catalog. To demonstrate the persistence of the catalog transfers in a higher-fidelity model, several solutions are transitioned to a Sun–Earth–Moon ephemeris model with the inclusion of solar radiation pressure and lunar gravity harmonics. The defining characteristics are preserved in the high-fidelity model, validating both the techniques employed for this investigation and the solutions computed within the catalog.

Background: The location and stability of the equilibrium points are studied for the Planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem where the more massive primary is an oblate spheroid. Methods: The mean motion of the equations of motion is formulated from the secular perturbations as derived by(1) and used in(2–4). The singularities of the equations of motion are found for locating the equilibrium points. Their stability is analysed using the linearized variational equations of motion at the equilibrium points. Findings: As the effect of oblateness in the mean motion expression increases, the location and stability of the equilibrium points are affected by the oblateness of the more massive primary. It is interesting to note that all the three collinear points move towards the more massive primary with oblateness. It is a new result. Among the shifts in the locations of the five equilibrium points, the y–location of the triangular equilibrium points relocate the most. It is very interesting to note that the eccentricities (e) of the orbits around L1 and L3 increase, while it decreases around L2 with the addition of oblateness with the new mean motion. The decrease in e is significant in Saturn-Mimas system from 0.95036 to 0.87558. Similarly, the value of the critical mass ratio mc, which sets the limit for the linear stability of the triangular points, further reduces significantly from 0:285: : :A1 to 0:365: : :A1 with the new mean motion. The mean motion sz in the z-direction increases significantly with the new mean motion from 9A1/4 to 9A1/2.

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.
