Abstract
Using analytic continuation of periodic orbits and symmetries we construct symmetric periodic solutions in the charged collinear three-body problem for the case where the outer particles are sufficiently small and have small charge. The results obtained allows to construct Schubart-like periodic solutions for different values of masses and charges in this setting and for the case of equal masses and charges of the outer bodies we have explicit Schubart periodic solutions.
