Continuing work initiated in earlier publications [Yamada, Asada, Phys. Rev. D 82, 104019 (2010), 83, 024040 (2011)], we investigate the post-Newtonian effects on Lagrange's equilateral triangular solution for the three-body problem. For…
A classical approach to the restricted three-body problem is to analyze the dynamics of the massless body in the synodic reference frame. A different approach is represented by the perturbative treatment: in particular the averaged problem…
