Abstract

The energy conservation law for the elliptical three-body problem is derived using an invariant relation corresponding to the Jacobi integral in the circular problem. The minimum-energy surfaces are constructed, which transform in the case of zero eccentricity into zero-velocity surfaces. Some astronomical applications of the results are considered. In particular, it is shown that Roche-lobe overflow displays pulsational behavior in the elliptical three-body problem.
