Abstract
This paper deals with the motion of a body of infinitesimal mass (third body) around collinear equilibrium points in the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP) whose massive bodies (primaries) are oblate and luminous together with Poynting-Robertson (P-R) drag. The effects of the oblateness, radiation pressure and P-R drag of the primaries and the eccentricity and semi-major axis of the orbits on the positions and stability of collinear points are examined analytically and numerically. It is observed that due to the presence of P-R drags, a new collinear point exists apart from classical collinear points . Various trends of shifts in the positions of these points are observed. The stability of these points is demonstrated by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and it is found that they are all unstable. The numerical explorations conducted for the binary systems 61 Cygni and Archird also reveal how the involved parameters affect the positions and stability of these points and conformity with the analytical results obtained.
期刊介绍:
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth''s surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
