Abstract

The stability of libration points of a triaxial homogeneous gravitating ellipsoid rotating around one of its principal central axes of inertia is studied. The plane motion of a passive point of unit mass is considered. In parameter space a region of stability is constructed and, also, resonance sets for all the resonances investigated. A systematic analysis of the stability of a libration point is carried out, using respective theorems for the equilibrium positions of Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom.
