Abstract
The families of periodic solutions to an autonomous Hamiltonian system in that part where the solutions are unstable have their specific “field of influence.” Under strong instability, the orbits that have fallen in such a “field of influence” are drawn into the family as in a whirlpool and then are thrown away from it. In the particular case of the restricted three-body problem, the orbits around the libration points L 1 and L 2 are super-unstable and the Keplerian elements in motion over these orbits change drastically. When the orbits fall into such a domain, for some time the motion is close to the motion around the libration point, and after being thrown out of this domain, the Keplerian orbital elements also change essentially.
