We consider the Newtonian planar three-body problem, defining a syzygy (velocity syzygy) as a configuration where the positions (velocities) of the three bodies become collinear. We demonstrate that if the total energy is negative, every…

In most books the Delaunay and Lagrange equations for the orbital elements are derived by the Hamilton-Jacobi method: one begins with the 2-body Hamilton equations, performs a canonical transformation to the orbital elements, and obtains…

We consider the classical 3-body system with $d$ degrees of freedom $(d>1)$ at zero total angular momentum. The study is restricted to potentials $V$ that depend solely on relative (mutual) distances $r_{ij}=\mid {\bf r}_i - {\bf r}_j\mid$…

We study a classical model for the atom that considers the movement of $n$ charged particles of charge $-1$ (electrons) interacting with a fixed nucleus of charge $\mu >0$. We show that two global branches of spatial relative equilibria…

There are periodic solutions to the equal-mass three-body (and N-body) problem in Newtonian gravity. The figure-eight solution is one of them. In this paper, we discuss its solution in the first and second post-Newtonian approximations to…

We design an accurate orbital integration scheme for the general N-body problem preserving all the conserved quantities but the angular momentum.This scheme is based on the chain concept (Mikkola & Aarseth 1993) and is regarded as an…
