Abstract
In this paper, we consider the elliptic relative equilibria of four-body problem with two infinitesimal masses. The most interesting case is when the two small masses tend to the same Lagrangian point (or ). In \cite{Xia}, Z. Xia showed that there exist four central configurations: two of them are non-convex, and the other two are convex. We prove that the elliptic relative equilibria raised from the non-convex central configurations are always linearly unstable; while for the elliptic relative equilibria raised from the convex central configurations, the conditions of linear stability with respect to the parameters are given.
