Abstract

We consider the n-body problem of celestial mechanics. Our goal will be to describe its energy surfaces with some added asymptotic boundaries, as well as to picture the kind of orbits arising in some simple examples. Among the asymptotic boundaries, we will mainly focus on the infinity manifolds [5], which describe escape orbits.
