The special case of the three body problem, when gravitational potential is given as the Kislik potential
Abstract
In this paper we consider the special case of the planar circular restricted three-body problem by the example of the problem of the Earth, the Moon and a point mass, where the gravitational potentials of the Earth and the Moon are given as the Kislik potential. The Kislik potential takes into account the flattening of a celestial body on the poles. We find the relative equilibria solutions for a point mass and analyze their stability. We describe the difference between the obtained points and the classical solution of the three-body problem.
