Central configurations and hyperbolic-elliptic motion in the three-body problem

Celestial mechanics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A refined classification of motion for the planar three-body problem with zero total energy is presented. In addition, the structure and size of the sets of initial conditions are obtained. Limited results for the spatial problem are also given.
