Periodic orbits in three-dimensional planetary systems
S. Ichtiaroglou K. Katopodis Michalodimitrakis
Three-dimensional planetary systems are studied, using the model of the restricted three-body problem for Μ =.001. Families of three-dimensional periodic orbits of relatively low multiplicity are numerically computed at the resonances 3/1, 5/3, 3/5 and 1/3 and their stability is determined. The three-dimensional orbits are found by continuation to the third dimension of the vertical critical orbits of the corresponding planar problem

On the effect of the eccentricity of a planetary orbit on the stability of satellite orbits
The effect of the eccentricity of a planet’s orbit on the stability of the orbits of its satellites is studied. The model used is the elliptic Hill case of the planar restricted three-body problem. The linear stability of all the known families of periodic orbits of the problem is computed. No stable orbits are found, the majority of them possessing one or two pairs of real eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix, while a part of a family with complex instability is found. Two families of periodic orbits, bifurcating from the Lagrangian points L1, L2 of the corresponding circular case are found analytically. These orbits are very unstable and the determination of their stability coefficients is not accurate, so we compute the largest Liapunov exponent in their vicinity. In all cases these exponents are positive, indicating the existence of chaotic motions

Continuous Article Publication
Posted on January 27, 2016Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
