Abstract

This paper uses Guillaume's extension of the Breakwell-Perko matching theory for the restricted three-body problem with small mass ratio μ>0 to establish the existence and asymptotic approximation of one-parameter families of second species periodic solutions with one near-moon passage of\(0(\mu ^v ),\tfrac{1}{3}< v< 1\), during a half-period. The deflection angle at such a near moon passage, β0(μ1−v), approaches zero as the mass ratio μ approaches zero.
