In the circular restricted three-body problem, low energy transit orbits are revealed by linearizing the governing differential equations about the collinear Lagrange points. This procedure fails when time-periodic perturbations are…
We study the dynamics of two bodies moving on elliptic Keplerian orbits around a fixed center of attraction and interacting only by means of elastic or inelastic collisions. We show that there exists a bounded invariant region: for suitable…
In this paper, we extend the basic model of the restricted four-body problem introducing two bigger dominant primaries $m_1$ and $m_2$ as oblate spheroids when masses of the two primary bodies ($m_2$ and $m_3$) are equal. The aim of this…
With regard to homeoidally striated Jacobi ellipsoids, a unified theory of systematically rotating and peculiar motions is developed, where both real and imaginary rotation are considered. The effect of positive or negative residual motion…
In this work, we perform a first study of basic invariant sets of the spatial Hill's four-body problem, where we have used both analytical and numerical approaches. This system depends on a mass parameter mu in such a way that the classical…

The three-body problem is reexamined in the framework of general relativity. The Newtonian three-body problem admits Euler's collinear solution, where three bodies move around the common center of mass with the same orbital period and…
The Restricted 3-Body Problem models the motion of a body of negligible mass under the gravitational influence of two massive bodies, called the primaries. If the primaries perform circular motions and the massless body is coplanar with…
This work explores the dynamic properties of test particles surrounding a distorted, deformed compact object. The astrophysical motivation was to choose such background, which could constitute a more reasonable model of a real situation…
We study the dynamical interactions of mass systems in equilibrium under their own gravity that mutually exert and experience gravitational forces. The method we employ is to model the dynamical evolution of two isolated bars, hosted within…
We study the dynamics of a spherical rigid body that rocks and rolls on a plane under the effect of gravity. The distribution of mass is non-uniform and the centre of mass does not coincide with the geometric centre. The symmetric case,…
In this letter we show that although the application of standard Lyapunov analysis predicts that completely integrable Kepler motion is unstable, the geometrical analysis of Horwitz et al [1] predicts the observed stability. This seems to…
The dynamics of the four-body problem have attracted increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we extend the basic equilateral four-body problem by introducing the effect of radiation pressure, Poynting-Robertson drag, and solar…

We study the dynamics of the restricted planar three-body problem near mean motion resonances, i.e. a resonance involving the Keplerian periods of the two lighter bodies revolving around the most massive one. This problem is often used to…
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 $k$…
