The Motion of a Particle from the L2 Lagrangian Point: Elliptic Cases
Abstract
We calculate the orbit of an infinitesimal particle starting from the L2 Lagrangian point when the binary orbit is elliptic. Asymptotic or quasi-asymptotic osculating elements of the third particle are given in tables. Key words: Contact binary; Mass loss.
