Abstract: The Sitnikov problem is a special case of the restricted three-body problem where the primaries moves in elliptic orbits of the two-body problem with eccentricity ein[0,1[ and the massless body moves on a straight line perpendicular to the plane of motion of the primaries through their barycenter. It is well known that for the circular case (e=0) and a given NinmathbbN there are a finite number of nontrivial symmetric 2Npi periodic solutions all of them parabolic and unstable (in the Lyapunov sense) if we consider the corresponding autonomous equation like a 2pi-periodic equation. Using the method of global continuation of Leray-Schauder, J.Llibre and R.Ortega (J.Llibre R. Ortega, 2008) proved that these families of periodic solutions can be continued from the known 2Npi-periodic solutions in the circular case for nonnecessarily small values of the eccentricity e and in some cases for all values of ein,[0,1[. However this approach does not say anything about the stability properties of this periodic solutions. In this document we present a new method that quantifies the mentioned bifurcating families and them stabilities properties at least in first approximation. Our approach proposes two general methods: The first one is to estimate the growing of the canonical solutions for one-parametric differential equation of the form [ ddot{x}+a(t,lambda)x=0, ] with ainC1([0,T]imes[0,Lambda]). The second one gives stability criteria for one-parametric Hill's equation of the form [ ddot{x}+q(t,lambda)x=0, quad (ast) ] where q(cdot,lambda) is T-periodic and qinC3(mathbbRimes[0,Lambda]), such that for lambda=0 the equation (∗) is parabolic.
