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.

This paper presents the dynamics in the restricted problem with perturbations i.e. the circular restricted three body problem by considering one of the primaries as oblate and other one having the solar radiation pressure and all the masses are variable (primaries and infinitesimal body). For finding the autonomized equations of motion, we have used the Meshcherskii transformation. We have drawn the libration points, the time series, the zero velocity curves and Poincare surface of sections for the different values of the oblateness and solar radiation pressure. Finally, we have examined the stability and found that all the libration points are unstable.

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.

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.

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.

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.
