Abstract
Consider the Earth-Moon-particle system as a RTBP. It is well known that there are two equilateral libration points. In the real life system, these points do not exist, due to the effect of the perturbations caused by the part of the solar system which is not taken into account. In this work the full problem is presented as a perturbation of the RTBP and we look for a dynamical equivalent of L4,5, which seems to be a quasiperiodic orbit. In this paper we present a way to obtain these orbits, as well as their stability.
