Abstract

We give a computer assisted proof of the full listing of central configuration for nn-body problem for Newtonian potential on the plane for n=5,6,7n=5,6,7 with equal masses. We show all these central configurations have a reflective symmetry with respect to some line. For n=8,9,10n=8,9,10 we establish the existence of central configurations without any reflectional symmetry.
