Three body problem in which the bigger primary is a source of radiation and the smaller one is an oblate spheroid

Abstract

The present Paper deals with the linear stability of the equilibrium points of the photogravitational restricted three body problem in which the bigger primary is a source of radiation and the smaller primary is an oblate spheroid. The problem possesses five equilibrium points, three collinear and two triangular. The triangular equilibrium points make nearly equilateral triangles with primaries. The results differ slightly with those of the classical problem due to radiation effect of the bigger primary and the oblateness of the smaller one.
