Abstract

In this paper periodic solutions of the third sort for restricted problem of three bodies in the three-dimensional space are derived numerically by starting from generating solutions obtained by one of the authors (1969) and by increasing the mass-ratio of the two primaries stepwise from zero to about 1000 for 2∶1, 3∶2 and 6∶1 cases of commensurable mean motions. Periodic solutions both for circular and elliptic orbits of the primaries are obtained.

The stability of the periodic solutions for the 2∶1 circular case is discussed and it is found that none of them is linearly stable.
