Linear stability of the triangular equilibrium points in the photogravitational elliptic restricted problem. II (Q1209103): Difference between revisions

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. 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 part I [\textit{V. V. Markellos}, \textit{E. Perdios} and \textit{P. Labropoulou}, Astrophys, Space Sci. 194, No. 2, 207-213 (1992)]. 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.
