The Effect of Radiation Pressure on the Equilibrium Points in the Generalised Photogravitational Restricted Three Body Problem

Abstract

The existence of equilibrium points and the effect of radiation pressure have been discussed numerically. The problem is generalized by considering bigger primary as a source of radiation and small primary as an oblate spheroid. We have also discussed the Poynting-Robertson(P-R) effect which is caused due to radiation pressure. It is found that the collinear points $L_1,L_2,L_3$ deviate from the axis joining the two primaries, while the triangular points $L_4,L_5$ are not symmetrical due to radiation pressure. We have seen that $L_1,L_2,L_3$ are linearly unstable while $L_4,L_5$ are conditionally stable in the sense of Lyapunov when P-R effect is not considered. We have found that the effect of radiation pressure reduces the linear stability zones while P-R effect induces an instability in the sense of Lyapunov.
