“…Several astronomical applications of the restricted three-body problem in the plane were dealt with in previous works (see Gousidou-Koutita, 1980, 1985bKopal and Lyttleton, 1963;Szebehely, 1967). Periodic orbits were investigated for the circular and elliptic cases by the author (Gousidou-Koutita, 1980, 1985 and other researchers (Broucke, 1969;Hadjidemetriou, 1975;Moulton, 1920;Szebehely, 1967).…”
