Abstract
The photogravitational restricted three-body problem is reviewed and the case of the “out-of-plane” equilibrium points is analysed. It is found that, when the motion of an infinitesimal body is determined only by the gravitational forces and effects of the radiation pressure, there are no “out-of-plane” stable equilibrium points.
