Abstract

For 3-body problem with any given masses m1,m2,m3>0m_1, \,m_2,\,m_3>0, there exist only Eulerian collinear central configuration and Lagrangian equilateral-triangle central configuration, and in this paper, for planar 3-body problem, we prove that there exists another non-collision trajectory qq, which is not the variational minimizer of the Lagrangian action on the loop space Λ1\overline{\Lambda_1}, is also an Eulerian collinear central configuration at any instant. Moreover, we do not need the restriction condition on the winding number deg(qiqj)0(ij)deg(q_i-q_j)\neq0 \,(i\neq j).
