Partially rigid motions in the planar three-body problem
Richard Moeckel
A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion.…

No Infinite Spin for Planar Total Collision
Richard Moeckel, Richard Montgomery
The infinite spin problem concerns the rotational behavior of total collision orbits in the -body problem. It has long been known that when a solution tends to total collision t…
Realizing All Free Homotopy Classes for the Newtonian Three-Body Problem
Richard Moeckel, Richard Montgomery
The configuration space of the planar three-body problem when collisions are excluded has a rich topology which supports a large set of free homotopy classes. Most classes survive…
