Three-Body Problem in Modified Dynamics

Abstract

General properties of the three-body problem in a model of modified dynamics are investigated. It is shown that the three-body problem in this model shares some characters with the similar problem in Newtonian dynamics. Moreover, the planar restricted three-body problem is solved analytically for this type of extended gravity and it is proved that under certain conditions, which generally happen at galactic and extragalactic scales, the orbits around $L_4$ and $L_5$ Lagrange points are stable. Furthermore, a code is provided to compare the behavior of orbits in the restricted three-body problem under Newtonian and modified dynamics. Orbit integrations based on this code show contrasting orbital behavior under the two dynamics and specially exhibit in a qualitative way that the rate of ejections is smaller in the modified dynamics compared to Newtonian gravity. These results could help us to search for observational signatures of extended gravities.
