Abstract
We consider the 3-body problem of celestial mechanics in Euclidean, elliptic, and hyperbolic spaces and study how the Lagrangian (equilateral) relative equilibria bifurcate when the Gaussian curvature varies. We thus prove the existence of new classes of orbits. In particular, we find some families of isosceles triangles, which occur in elliptic space.
