Asymptotic orbits and terminations of families in the Copenhagen problem (Q1368950): Difference between revisions

We present sample results from extensive calculations of families of periodic orbits in the Copenhagen \((m_1=m_2)\) restricted three-body problem which terminate with orbits asymptotic to equilibrium points or to periodic points. Heteroclinic asymptotic orbits of the Copenhagen problem are important as they combine in pairs to form infinite period terminations of families of periodic orbits. Such families are considered here as limiting cases of the photogravitational restricted problem with equal masses and radiation factors of primaries.
