Abstract

The main idea of this paper is to investigate the motion properties of the smallest body under the gravitational forces of the three collinear spherical primaries. Here we place the three primaries on the same line where the masses of two primary bodies are taken equal and third primary body is having the solar radiation effect. The effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces on the system is considered. Therefore this system is recognized as collinear perturbed Moulton-Copenhagen configuration. After determining the equations of motion and quasi-Jacobi integral, we numerically illustrate the locations of equilibrium points (in-plane and out-of-plane), regions of motion, Poincaré surfaces of section, basins of attraction and periodic orbits. And then the examination of stability for the equilibrium points lie either in-plane or out-of-plane are examined.
