V. V. Markellos  E. Perdios  C. Georghiou 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1993,199(1):23-33

The linear stability of the triangular equilibrium points in the photogravitational elliptic restricted three-body problem is examined and the stability regions are determined in the space of the parameters of mass, eccentricity, and radiation pressure, in the case of equal radiation factors of the two primaries. The full range of values of the common radiation factor is explored, from the gravitational caseq ₁ =q ₂ =q = 1 down to the critical value ofq = 1/8 at which the triangular equilibria disappear by coalescing on the rotating axis of the primaries. It is found that radiation pressure exerts a significant influence on the stability regions. For certain intervals of radiation values these regions become qualitatively different from the gravitational case as well as the solar system case considered in Paper I. There exist values of the common radiation factor, in the range considered, for which the triangular equilibrium points are stable for the entire range of mass distribution among the primaries and for large eccentricities of their orbits.  相似文献

All the families of planar symmetric simple-periodic orbits of the photogravitational restricted plane circular three-body problem, are determined numerically in the case when the primaries are of equal mass and radiate with equal radiation factors (q ₁=q₂=q). We obtain a global view of the possible patterns of periodic three-body motion while the full range of values of the common radiation factor is explored, from the gravitational case (q=1) down to near the critical value at which the triangular equilibria disappear by coalescing with the inner equilibrium pointL ₁ on the rotating axis of the primaries. It is found that for large deviations of its value from the gravitational case the radiation factorq can have a strong effect on the structure of the families.  相似文献   

Effect of oblateness, perturbations, radiation and varying masses on the stability of equilibrium points in the restricted three-body problem     

Jagadish Singh  Oni Leke 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2013,344(1):51-61

This paper investigates the combined effect of small perturbations ε,ε′ in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces, radiation pressure q _i , and changing oblateness of the primaries A _i (t) (i=1,2) on the stability of equilibrium points in the restricted three body problem in which the primaries is a supergiant eclipsing binary system which consists of a pair of bright oblate stars having the appearance of a giant peanut in space and their masses assumed to vary with time in the absence of reactive forces. The equations of motion are derived and the equilibrium points are obtained. For the autonomized system, it is seen that there are more than a pair of the triangular points as κ→∞; κ being the arbitrary sum of the masses of the primaries. In the case of the collinear points, two additional equilibrium points exist on the line joining the primaries when simultaneously κ+ε′<0 and both primaries are oblate, i.e., 0<α _i ?1. So there are five collinear equilibrium points in this case. Two non-planar equilibrium points exist for κ>1. Hence, there are at least nine equilibrium points of the system. The stability of these points is explored analytically and numerically. It is seen that the collinear and triangular points are stable with respect to certain conditions controlled by κ while the non-planar equilibrium points are unstable.  相似文献   

Numerical Exploration of Chermnykh’s Problem     

K.?E.?PapadakisEmail author 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2005,299(1):67-81

We study the equilibrium points and the zero-velocity curves of Chermnykh’s problem when the angular velocity ω varies continuously and the value of the mass parameter is fixed. The planar symmetric simple-periodic orbits are determined numerically and they are presented for three values of the parameter ω. The stability of the periodic orbits of all the families is computed. Particularly, we explore the network of the families when the angular velocity has the critical value ω = 2√2 at which the triangular equilibria disappear by coalescing with the collinear equilibrium point L₁. The analytic determination of the initial conditions of the family which emanate from the Lagrangian libration point L₁ in this case, is given. Non-periodic orbits, as points on a surface of section, providing an outlook of the stability regions, chaotic and escape motions as well as multiple-periodic orbits, are also computed. Non-linear stability zones of the triangular Lagrangian points are computed numerically for the Earth–Moon and Sun–Jupiter mass distribution when the angular velocity varies.  相似文献   

Stability of the photogravitational restricted three-body problem with variable masses     

Jagadish Singh  Oni Leke 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2010,326(2):305-314

This paper investigates the stability of equilibrium points in the restricted three-body problem, in which the masses of the luminous primaries vary isotropically in accordance with the unified Meshcherskii law, and their motion takes place within the framework of the Gylden–Meshcherskii problem. For the autonomized system, it is found that collinear and coplanar points are unstable, while the triangular points are conditionally stable. It is also observed that, in the triangular case, the presence of a constant κ, of a particular integral of the Gylden–Meshcherskii problem, makes the destabilizing tendency of the radiation pressures strong. The stability of equilibrium points varying with time is tested using the Lyapunov Characteristic Numbers (LCN). It is seen that the range of stability or instability depends on the parameter κ. The motion around the equilibrium points L _i (i=1,2,…,7) for the restricted three-body problem with variable masses is in general unstable.  相似文献

B. Ishwar 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1996,65(3):253-289

The non-linear stability of the triangular equilibrium point L ₄ in the generalized restricted three-body problem has been examined. The problem is generalized in the sense that the infinitesimal body and one of the primaries have been taken as oblate spheroids. It is found that the triangular equilibrium point is stable in the range of linear stability except for three mass ratios.  相似文献   

Equilibrium points in the photogravitational restricted four-body problem     

J. P. Papadouris  K. E. Papadakis 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2013,344(1):21-38

We study numerically the photogravitational version of the problem of four bodies, where an infinitesimal particle is moving under the Newtonian gravitational attraction of three bodies which are finite, moving in circles around their center of mass fixed at the origin of the coordinate system, according to the solution of Lagrange where they are always at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The fourth body does not affect the motion of the three bodies (primaries). We consider that the primary body m ₁ is dominant and is a source of radiation while the other two small primaries m ₂ and m ₃ are equal. In this case (photogravitational) we examine the linear stability of the Lagrange triangle solution. The allowed regions of motion as determined by the zero-velocity surface and corresponding equipotential curves, as well as the positions of the equilibrium points on the orbital plane are given. The existence and the number of the collinear and the non-collinear equilibrium points of the problem depends on the mass parameters of the primaries and the radiation factor q ₁. Critical masses m ₃ and radiation q ₁ associated with the existence and the number of the equilibrium points are given. The stability of the relative equilibrium solutions in all cases are also studied. In the last section we investigate the existence and location of the out of orbital plane equilibrium points of the problem. We found that such critical points exist. These points lie in the (x,z) plane in symmetrical positions with respect to (x,y) plane. The stability of these points are also examined.  相似文献   

Stability and regions of motion in the restricted three-body problem when both the primaries are finite straight segments     

Ruchika Jain  Deepa Sinha 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2014,351(1):87-100

In this paper we have studied the locations and stability of the Lagrangian equilibrium points in the restricted three-body problem under the assumption that both the primaries are finite straight segments. We have found that the triangular equilibrium points are conditional stable for 0<μ<μ _c , and unstable in the range μ _c <μ≤1/2, where μ is the mass ratio. The critical mass ratio μ _c depends on the lengths of the segments and it is observed that the range of μ _c increases when compared with the classical case. The collinear equilibrium points are unstable for all values of μ. We have also studied the regions of motion of the infinitesimal mass. It has been observed that the Jacobian constant decreases when compared with the classical restricted three-body problem for a fixed value of μ and lengths l ₁ and l ₂ of the segments. Beside this we have found the numerical values for the position of the collinear and triangular equilibrium points in the case of some asteroids systems: (i) 216 Kleopatra-951 Gaspara, (ii) 9 Metis-433 Eros, (iii) 22 Kalliope-243 Ida and checked the linear stability of stationary solutions of these asteroids systems.  相似文献   

Equilibrium points and stability under effect of radiation and perturbing forces in the restricted problem of three oblate bodies     

Jagadish Singh  Sunusi Haruna 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2014,349(1):107-116

This paper presents a generalized problem of the restricted three body studied in Abdul Raheem and Singh with the inclusion that the third body is an oblate spheroidal test particle of infinitesimally mass. The positions and stability of the equilibrium point of this problem is studied for a model in which the primaries is the binary system Struve 2398 (Gliese 725) in the constellation Draco; which consist of a pair of radiating oblate stars. It is seen that additional equilibrium points exist on the line collinear with the primaries, for some combined parameters of the problem. Hence, there can be up to five collinear equilibrium points. Two triangular points exist and depends on the oblateness of the participating bodies, radiation pressure of the primaries and a small perturbation in the centrifugal force. The stability analysis ensures that, the collinear equilibrium points are unstable in the linear sense while the triangular points are stable under certain conditions. Illustrative numerical exploration is given to indicate significant improvement of the problem in Abdul Raheem and Singh.  相似文献   

Existence of equilibrium points and their linear stability in the generalized photogravitational Chermnykh-like problem with power-law profile     

Badam Singh Kushvah  Ram Kishor  Uday Dolas 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2012,337(1):115-127

We consider the modified restricted three body problem with power-law density profile of disk, which rotates around the center of mass of the system with perturbed mean motion. Using analytical and numerical methods, we have found equilibrium points and examined their linear stability. We have also found the zero velocity surface for the present model. In addition to five equilibrium points there exists a new equilibrium point on the line joining the two primaries. It is found that L ₁ and L ₃ are stable for some values of inner and outer radius of the disk while other collinear points are unstable, but L ₄ is conditionally stable for mass ratio less than that of Routh’s critical value. Lastly, we have studied the effects of radiation pressure, oblateness and mass of the disk on the motion and stability of equilibrium points.  相似文献   

Equilibrium points of the restricted three-body problem with equal prolate and radiating primaries,and their stability     

C. N. Douskos 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2011,333(1):79-87

Paper presents a complete discussion of the existence, location and stability of the equilibrium points of the coplanar restricted three-body problem with equal prolate and radiating primaries. Depending on the values of the radiation and negative oblateness parameters, two or four additional collinear equilibrium points exist, in addition to the three Eulerian points of the classical case, making up a total of up to seven collinear points. Four of these additional points, as well as the classical central equilibrium point located at the origin, are stable for certain ranges of the parameters. Also, depending on the values of the parameters, up to six additional non-collinear equilibrium points exist, in addition to the triangular Lagrangian points of the classical case. Two of these additional points are located symmetrically above and below the origin and are stable, while the other four are located symmetrically in the four quadrants and are unstable.  相似文献   

Motion Around The Triangular Equilibrium Points Of The Restricted Three-Body Problem Under Angular Velocity Variation     

K.?E.?PapadakisEmail author 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2005,299(2):129-148

We study numerically the asymmetric periodic orbits which emanate from the triangular equilibrium points of the restricted three-body problem under the assumption that the angular velocity ω varies and for the Sun–Jupiter mass distribution. The symmetric periodic orbits emanating from the collinear Lagrangian point L ₃, which are related to them, are also examined. The analytic determination of the initial conditions of the long- and short-period Trojan families around the equilibrium points, is given. The corresponding families were examined, for a combination of the mass ratio and the angular velocity (case of equal eigenfrequencies), and also for the critical value ω = 2, at which the triangular equilibria disappear by coalescing with the inner collinear equilibrium point L ₁. We also compute the horizontal and the vertical stability of these families for the angular velocity parameter ω under consideration. Series of horizontal–critical periodic orbits of the short-Trojan families with the angular velocity ω and the mass ratio μ as parameters, are given.  相似文献   

Numerical exploration of the photogravitational restricted five-body problem     

K. E. Papadakis  S. S. Kanavos 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2007,310(1-2):119-130

We study numerically the restricted five-body problem when some or all the primary bodies are sources of radiation. The allowed regions of motion as determined by the zero-velocity surface and corresponding equipotential curves, as well as the positions of the equilibrium points are given. We found that the number of the collinear equilibrium points of the problem depends on the mass parameter β and the radiation factors q _i , i=0,…,3. The stability of the equilibrium points are also studied. Critical masses associated with the number of the equilibrium points and their stability are given. The network of the families of simple symmetric periodic orbits, vertical critical periodic solutions and the corresponding bifurcation three-dimensional families when the mass parameter β and the radiation factors q _i vary are illustrated. Series, with respect to the mass (and to the radiation) parameter, of critical periodic orbits are calculated.  相似文献   

Equilibrium points and stability in the restricted three-body problem with oblateness and variable masses     

Jagadish Singh  Oni Leke 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2012,340(1):27-41

The existence and stability of a test particle around the equilibrium points in the restricted three-body problem is generalized to include the effect of variations in oblateness of the first primary, small perturbations ϵ and ϵ′ given in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces α and β respectively, and radiation pressure of the second primary; in the case when the primaries vary their masses with time in accordance with the combined Meshcherskii law. For the autonomized system, we use a numerical evidence to compute the positions of the collinear points L _2κ , which exist for 0<κ<∞, where κ is a constant of a particular integral of the Gylden-Meshcherskii problem; oblateness of the first primary; radiation pressure of the second primary; the mass parameter ν and small perturbation in the centrifugal force. Real out of plane equilibrium points exist only for κ>1, provided the abscissae x < \fracn(k-1)b\xi<\frac{\nu(\kappa-1)}{\beta}. In the case of the triangular points, it is seen that these points exist for ϵ′<κ<∞ and are affected by the oblateness term, radiation pressure and the mass parameter. The linear stability of these equilibrium points is examined. It is seen that the collinear points L _2κ are stable for very small κ and the involved parameters, while the out of plane equilibrium points are unstable. The conditional stability of the triangular points depends on all the system parameters. Further, it is seen in the case of the triangular points, that the stabilizing or destabilizing behavior of the oblateness coefficient is controlled by κ, while those of the small perturbations depends on κ and whether these perturbations are positive or negative. However, the destabilizing behavior of the radiation pressure remains unaltered but grows weak or strong with increase or decrease in κ. This study reveals that oblateness coefficient can exhibit a stabilizing tendency in a certain range of κ, as against the findings of the RTBP with constant masses. Interestingly, in the region of stable motion, these parameters are void for k = \frac43\kappa=\frac{4}{3}. The decrease, increase or non existence in the region of stability of the triangular points depends on κ, oblateness of the first primary, small perturbations and the radiation pressure of the second body, as it is seen that the increasing region of stability becomes decreasing, while the decreasing region becomes increasing due to the inclusion of oblateness of the first primary.  相似文献   

The equilibrium points in the perturbed R3BP with triaxial and luminous primaries     

Jagadish Singh 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2013,346(1):41-50

This study explores the effects of small perturbations in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces, radiation pressures and triaxiality of the two stars (primaries) on the position and stability of an infinitesimal mass (third body) in the framework of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (R3BP). it is observed that the positions of the usual five (three collinear and two triangular) equilibrium points are affected by the radiation, triaxiality and a small perturbation in the centrifugal force, but are unaffected by that of the Coriolis force. The collinear points are found to remain unstable, while the triangular points are seen to be stable for 0<μ<μ _c and unstable for $\mu_{c} \le\mu\le\frac{1}{2}$ , where μ _c is the critical mass ratio influenced by the small perturbations in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces, radiation and triaxiality. It is also noticed that the former one and all the latter three posses stabilizing and destabilizing behavior respectively. Therefore, the overall effect is that the size of the region of stability decreases with increase in the values of the parameters involved.  相似文献   

The effect of solar radiation pressure on the Lagrangian points in the elliptic restricted three-body problem     

M. K. Ammar 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2008,313(4):393-408

In this paper the effect of solar radiation pressure on the location and stability of the five Lagrangian points is studied, within the frame of elliptic restricted three-body problem, where the primaries are the Sun and Jupiter acting on a particle of negligible mass. We found that the radiation pressure plays the rule of slightly reducing the effective mass of the Sun and changes the location of the Lagrangian points. New formulas for the location of the collinear libration points were derived. For large values of the force ratio β, we found that at β=0.12, the collinear point L₃ is stable and some families of periodic orbits can be drawn around it.  相似文献   

On the stability of triangular points in the elliptic R3BP under radiating and oblate primaries     

Jagadish Singh  Aishetu Umar 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2012,341(2):349-358

This paper investigates the stability of triangular equilibrium points (L _4,5) in the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP), when both oblate primaries emit light energy simultaneously. The positions of the triangular points are seen to shift away from the line joining the primaries than in the classical case on account of the introduction of the eccentricity, semi-major axis, radiation and oblateness factors of both primaries. This is shown for the binary systems Achird, Luyten 726-8, Kruger 60, Alpha Centauri AB and Xi Bootis. We found that motion around these points is conditionally stable with respect to the parameters involved in the system dynamics. The region of stability increases and decreases with variability in eccentricity, oblateness and radiation pressures.  相似文献   

The geometry of the roche coordinates and zero-velocity curves in the photogravitational three-body problem     

K. E. Papadakis 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,232(2):337-354

The aim of the paper is to study the geometry of the Roche curvilinear coordinates (, , ) in the photogravitational circular restricted three-body problem, with varying radiation pressure, and special attention is given to the geometry of zero-velocity curves specified by the coordinate. The radiation pressure exerted by the primary bodies on the infinitesimal third body is considered the same (q ₁ =q ₂), and the primaries are taken to have equal masses (m ₁ =m ₂). The full range of values of the common radiation factor is explored, from the valueq ₁ =q ₂ = 1 (the gravitational three-body problem) down toq ₁ =q ₂ 0. It is found that radiation has a strong influence on the geometry of the Roche coordinates and the zero-velocity curves.  相似文献   

Linear stability of equilibrium points in the generalized photogravitational Chermnykh’s problem     

Badam Singh Kushvah 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2008,318(1-2):41-50

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 effect of radiation pressure has been discussed numerically. The collinear points are linearly unstable and triangular points are stable in the sense of Lyapunov stability provided μ<μ _Routh =0.0385201. The effect of gravitational potential from the belt is also examined. The mathematical properties of this system are different from the classical restricted three body problem.  相似文献   

Resonance stability of triangular equilibrium points in elliptical restricted three body problem under the radiating primaries     

A. Narayan  N. Singh 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2014,353(2):441-455

The main aim of this paper is to study the existence of resonance and linear stability of the triangular equilibrium points of the planar elliptical restricted three body problem considering the photo gravitational effect of both the primaries in circular and elliptical case. A practical application of this case could be the study of the dynamical system around the binary systems. For this the Hamiltonian function, convergent in nature and describing the motion of the infinitesimal body in the neighborhood of the triangular equilibrium solutions is derived. Also, the Hamiltonian for the system is expanded in powers of the generalized components of momenta. Further, canonical transformation has also been used to study the stability of the triangular equilibrium points. The study primarily focuses on establishing the relation for determining the range of stability at and near the resonance frequency ω ₂=1/2 around the binary systems using simulation technique. It is observed that the parametric resonance is only possible at the resonance frequency ω ₂=1/2 in both circular and elliptical cases.  相似文献
