We study the stationary points of the hierarchical three body problem in the planetary limit (m_2, m_3 << m_1) at both the quadrupole and octupole orders. We demonstrate that the extension to octupole order preserves the principal…
The equilibrium points and their linear stability has been discussed in the generalized photogravitational Chermnykh's problem. The bigger primary is being considered as a source of radiation and small primary as an oblate spheroid. The…
The stability of binary orbits can significantly shape the gravity wave signal which future Earth-based interferometers hope to detect. The inner most stable circular orbit has been of interest as it marks the transition from the late…
In this paper we study the location and stability of the collinear Lagrangian points for the RTBP for the case in which one of the primary bodies is radiating and the other is oblate. We consider the effect of Poynting-Roberson drag and…
Massive planets form within the lifetime of protoplanetary disks and undergo orbital migration due to planet-disk interactions. When the first planet reaches the inner edge of the disk its migration stops and the second planet is locked in…

The restricted (equilateral) four-body problem consists of three bodies of masses m1, m2 and m3 (called primaries) lying in a Lagrangian configuration of the three-body problem i.e., they remain fixed at the apices of an equilateral…
The dynamics of a rigid, rotating, precessing, massive ring orbiting a point mass within the perimeter of the ring are considered. It is demonstrated that orbits dynamically stable against perturbations in three dimensions exist for a range…
In this paper, we consider the linear stability of the elliptic relative equilibria of the restricted 4-body problems where the three primaries form a Lagrangian triangle. By reduction, the linearized Poincar\'e map is decomposed to the…
We examine bound orbits of particles around singly rotating black rings. We show that there exist stable bound orbits in toroidal spiral shape near the axis of the ring, and also exist stable circular orbits on the axis as special cases.…
In this paper we classify the central configurations of the circular restricted 4-body problem with three primaries at the collinear configuration of the 3-body problem and an infinitesimal mass. The case where the three primaries have the…
We study the effects of general relativistic gravity on the Hill stability, that is, the stability of a multi-body system against a close approach of one orbit to another, which has been hitherto studied mainly in Newtonian mechanics and…
Many exoplanets are discovered in binary star systems in internal or in circumbinary orbits. Whether the planet can be habitable or not depends on the possibility to maintain liquid water on its surface, and therefore on the luminosity of…
The Rayleigh criterion is used to study the stability of circular orbits of particles moving around static black holes surrounded by different axially symmetric structures with reflection symmetry, like disks, rings and halos. We consider…
We consider the problem of orbital stability of the motion of a test particle in the restricted three-body problem, by using the orbital moment and its time derivative. We show that it is possible to get some insight into the stability…
We study the geodesic motion of massless particles in singly rotating black ring spacetimes. We find stable stationary orbits of massless particles in toroidal spiral shape in the case that the thickness parameter of a black ring is less…

Self-consistent solutions for triaxial mass models are highly non-unique. In general, some of these solutions might be dynamically unstable, making them inappropriate as descriptions of steady-state galaxies. Here we demonstrate for the…
