Abstract
Hill-type stability surfaces are computed for the general hierarchical three-body problem for non-zero eccentricities of the initial osculating orbits. Significant differences are found between them and the one obtained for initial zero eccentricities. Application is made to the triple subgroups of the Solar System; in particular it is found that no analytical guarantee of Hill-type stability can be given to any of the satellites against solar perturbations.
