Abstract
We have studied the effect of small perturbations in the coriolis and the centrifugal forces together with oblateness and radiation pressure forces of the primaries on the locations of equilibrium points in the restricted three-body problem. We have found that oblate-ness and radiation pressure forces affect the locations of equilibrium points. We have further seen that the positions of equilibrium points are not affected by the change in the coriolis force. They are only affected by the change in the centrifugal force. It is also observed that the triangular points form triangles with the primaries and lie on the line joining the primaries.
