Abstract

We study the problem of planar central configurations with NN heavy bodies and kk bodies with arbitrary small masses. We derive the equation which describe the limit of light masses going to zero, which can be seen as the equation for central configurations in the anisotropic plane. Using computer rigorous computations we compute all central configurations for N=2N=2 and k=3,4k=3,4 and for the derived limit problem. We show that the results are consistent.
