Abstract

Results of families of periodic orbits in the elliptic restricted problem are shown. They are calculated for the mass ratios μ=0.5 and μ=0.1 for the primary bodies and for different values of the eccentricity of the orbit of the primaries which is the second parameter. The case μ=0.5 is also a good model for planetary orbits in binaries. Finally we show detailed stability diagrams and give results according to the stability classification of Contopoulos.
