The model incorporates mutual gravitational interactions, radiation pressure from the dominant primary, and oblateness effects of the two equal-mass secondary primaries. Planar equilibrium points are computed and their linear stability is analyzed using a semi-analytical approach. Eight equilibrium points are identified, all of which depend sensitively on the perturbing parameters. Of these, only one symmetric pair, located about the x-axis, is found to be linearly stable, while the remaining points are unstable. To approximate the system dynamics, iterative formulations based on Lie series expansion are developed. The linearized motion in the vicinity of the stable equilibria is then examined for variations in mass ratio, radiation pressure, orbital eccentricity, and oblateness coefficients. A comparison between trajectories obtained via direct numerical integration and those derived from the Lie series demonstrates strong agreement, confirming the accuracy of the semi-analytical method. The applicability of the model is further illustrated through its implementation in the TRAPPIST-1 system (planets <span>(c)</span> and <span>(g)</span>) and the Barnard’s Star system (planets <span>(b)</span> and <span>(d)</span>).
