Abstract
The motion around the libration points is studied with Charlier's first order theory assuming the isotropic mass variation of the primaries does not exceed the order of the small primary and the derivatives of the masses with respect to time are negligible second order quantities. The results are analogous to those obtained with constant primary masses.
