Abstract: We consider the Hill four-body problem where three oblate, massive bodies form a relative equilibrium triangular configuration, and the fourth, infinitesimal body orbits in a neighborhood of the smallest of the three massive bodies. We regularize collisions between the infinitesimal body and the smallest massive body, via McGehee coordinate transformation. We describe the corresponding collision manifold and show that it undergoes a bifurcation when the oblateness coefficient of the small massive body passes through the zero value.
