Critical periodic orbits in the restricted three-body problem with oblateness (Q863252)

Horizontally critical periodic orbits (HC) of the restricted three body problem, when the more massive primary is an oblate spheroid have been considered in this paper. Starting points have been used to compute series of HC orbits. For the specific value of the mass ratio the oblateness coefficients have been varied in order to generate series of HC orbits for values of the oblateness coefficient in the interval \([0.00, 0.10]\). The basic results are represented in two tables and three figures.
