Abstract
In this work, we study the periodic orbits in the spatial isosceles three-body problem. These periodic orbits form a one-parameter set with a rotation angle as the parameter. Some new phenomenons are discovered by applying our numerical method. The periodic orbit coincides with the planar Euler orbit when and it changes to a spatial orbit when . Eventually, the spatial orbit becomes a planar collision orbit when . Furthermore, an oscillated behavior is found when , which is chaotic but bounded under a small perturbation. As another application of our numerical method, 7 new periodic orbits are presented in the end.
