Abstract
This paper studies the motion of an infinitesimal mass around triangular equilibrium points in the elliptic restricted three body problem assuming bigger primary as a source of radiation and the smaller one a triaxial rigid body. A practical application of this case could be the study of motion of a satellite under the effect of Sun and Earth. We have exploited the method of averaging used by Grebnikov (Nauka, Moscow, revised 1986) throughout the analysis of stability of the system. The critical mass ratio depends on the radiation pressure, oblateness, eccentricity and semi major axis of the elliptic orbits and the range of stability decreases as the radiation parameter increases.
