Abstract
Within the frame work of the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) we have examined the effect of axis-symmetric of the bigger primary, oblateness up to the zonal harmonic J4 of the smaller primary and gravitational potential from a belt (circular cluster of material points) on the linear stability of the triangular libration points. It is found that the positions of triangular libration points and their linear stability are affected by axis-symmetric of the bigger primary, oblateness up to J4 of the smaller primary and the potential created by the belt. The axis-symmetric of the bigger primary and the coefficient J2 of the smaller primary have destabilizing tendency, while the coefficient J4 of the smaller primary and the potential from the belt have stabilizing tendency. The overall effect of these perturbations has destabilizing tendency. This study can be useful in the investigation of motion of a particle near axis-symmetric—oblate bodies surrounded by a belt.
