Analytical continuation and first-order stability, of the short-period orbits at L4 in the sun-Jupiter system
Abstract
The family of short-period orbits originating at the equilateral center of libration in the sun-Jupiter system is continued first analytically, then numerically. For all periodic orbits obtained so far, the charac- teristic exponents are of the stable type.
