Abstract

The n-body problem, a cornerstone of celestial mechanics, has been the subject of extensive research for centuries, with particular emphasis on the complexities of the three-body problem under various perturbations. These perturbations include oblateness, triaxiality, radiation pressure, and the effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces. Recent advancements have shifted focus to systems involving more than three bodies, with notable work in the four-body problem. In this study, we extend the analysis to the five-body problem, examining its chaotic behavior and identifying regions of libration points. By varying the masses of the bodies across distinct surface points, we analyze the system’s dynamics, uncovering fractal zones within the problem. Additionally, we perform a stability analysis of the libration points, offering new insights into the behavior and stability of the five-body system. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of multi-body interactions and their implications in both theoretical and applied contexts.

期刊介绍： The journal Few-Body Systems presents original research work – experimental, theoretical and computational – investigating the behavior of any classical or quantum system consisting of a small number of well-defined constituent structures. The focus is on the research methods, properties, and results characteristic of few-body systems. Examples of few-body systems range from few-quark states, light nuclear and hadronic systems; few-electron atomic systems and small molecules; and specific systems in condensed matter and surface physics (such as quantum dots and highly correlated trapped systems), up to and including large-scale celestial structures. Systems for which an equivalent one-body description is available or can be designed, and large systems for which specific many-body methods are needed are outside the scope of the journal. The journal is devoted to the publication of all aspects of few-body systems research and applications. While concentrating on few-body systems well-suited to rigorous solutions, the journal also encourages interdisciplinary contributions that foster common approaches and insights, introduce and benchmark the use of novel tools (e.g. machine learning) and develop relevant applications (e.g. few-body aspects in quantum technologies).
