We consider the restricted n + 1-body problem of Newtonian mechanics. For periodic, planar configurations of n bodies which is symmetric under rotation by a fixed angle, the z-axis is invariant. We consider the effect of placing a massless…

While iterating the quadratic polynomial f_{c}(x)=x^{2}+c the degree of the iterates grows very rapidly, and therefore solving the equations corresponding to periodic orbits becomes very difficult even for periodic orbits with a low period.…

We will show that the period $T$ of a closed orbit of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (viewed on rotating coordinates) depends on the region it encloses. Roughly speaking, we show that, $2 T=k\pi+\int_\Omega g$ where $k$…

Moore and Montgomery have argued that planar periodic orbits of three bodies moving in the Jacobi-Poincare, or the "strong" pairwise potential $\sum_{i>j}\frac{-1}{r_{ij}^2}$, can have all possible topologies. Here we search systematically…
