Abstract: A stochastic optimization algorithm for analyzing planar central and balanced configurations in the $n$-body problem is presented. We find a comprehensive list of equal mass central configurations satisfying the Morse equality up to $n=12$. We show some exemplary balanced configurations in the case $n=5$, as well as some balanced configurations without any axis of symmetry in the cases $n=4$ and $n=10$.
