We consider a planetary system consisting of two primaries, namely a star and a giant planet, and a massless secondary, say a terrestrial planet or an asteroid, which moves under their gravitational attraction. We study the dynamics of this…
Numerical solutions are presented for a family of finite angular momentum orbits with three equal masses which connects the classical circular Lagrange orbit with the recently discovered planar figure eight orbit. Each member of this family…
Orbits in galaxy bars are generally complex, but simple closed loop orbits play an important role in our conceptual understanding of bars. Such orbits are found in some well-studied potentials, provide a simple model of the bar in…
