Abstract
We consider the motion of a test particle around a triaxial primary and an oblate companion orbiting each other in elliptic orbits about their common barycenter in the neighborhood of triangular libration points. The positions and stability of these points are influenced by the triaxiality and oblateness of the primary and secondary, and by the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the orbits. The triangular points are stable for 0<μ<μc; where μ is the mass ratio (μ≤1/2) and μc is the critical mass value influenced by the eccentricity, oblateness, semi major axis and triaxiality factors. The size of the region of stability increases with decreasing values of triaxiality and oblateness. An application of the results obtain to double neutron star binaries results show that the positions and stability of the triangular points of PSR J1518+4904, PSR B1534+12, PSR B1914+16 and PSR B2127+11c are affected by the parameters in the systems’ dynamics.
