Abstract

A brake orbit is an orbit that starts with zero initial velocity. The purpose of this paper is to find periodic brake orbits in the isosceles three-body problem. We use various shooting arguments; we follow a curve of brake initial conditions under the flow until it reaches a suitable surface, and show that the image curve includes a point that corresponds to a periodic orbit. As a result, we prove the existence of six types of periodic brake orbits.
