Location and stability of the triangular points in the triaxial elliptic restricted three-body problem

Abstract

The main goal of the present paper is to evaluate the perturbed locations and investigate the linear stability of the triangular points. We studied the problem in the elliptic restricted three body problem frame of work. The problem is generalized in the sense that the two primaries are considered as triaxial bodies. It is found that the locations of these points are affected by the triaxiality coefficients of the primaries and the eccentricity of orbits. Also it is observed that the stability regions depend on the involved perturbations. In addition to this we studied the periodic orbits in the vicinity of the triangular points.
