Effects of solar sail and various perturbations under the equilateral triangular configuration in the four interacting bodies problem
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Solar sail and other perturbation effects are studied on the dynamical motion of the infinitesimal body in the four interacting bodies where three bigger bodies (two out of these three bodies are oblate in shape and equal in size) are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The important dynamical properties, like the locations of equilibrium points, their stability, the periodic orbits, Poincaré surfaces of section, and the basins of attraction, are illustrated with the evaluated equations of motion in unperturbed and perturbed cases. This investigation will be helpful to the space agencies worldwide.
