Halo orbits around the collinear points of the restricted three-body problem. (English) Zbl 1364.70022
Summary: We perform an analytical study of the bifurcation of the halo orbits around the collinear points \(L_1\), \(L_2\), \(L_3\) for the circular, spatial, restricted three-body problem. Following a standard procedure, we reduce to the center manifold constructing a normal form adapted to the synchronous resonance. Introducing a detuning, which measures the displacement from the resonance and expanding the energy in series of the detuning, we are able to evaluate the energy level at which the bifurcation takes place for arbitrary values of the mass ratio. In most cases, the analytical results thus obtained are in very good agreement with the numerical expectations, providing the bifurcation threshold with good accuracy. Care must be taken when dealing with \(L_3\) for small values of the mass-ratio between the primaries; in that case, the model of the system is a singular perturbation problem and the normal form method is not particularly suited to evaluate the bifurcation threshold.
