Abstract

We present computational results for the families of periodic orbits that emanate from the five libration points of the homogeneous gravitating triaxial ellipsoid rotating around its small axis, as well as for various secondary bifurcating families. Possible applications of our results include research on the motion of stars and clusters in elliptical galaxies, and the design of space missions to the vicinity of small bodies (asteroids) and their libration points. The numerical continuation and bifurcation algorithms employed in our study are based on boundary value techniques, as implemented in the AUTO software tool.
