Combined effect of Poynting-Robertson (P-R) drag, oblateness and radiation on the triangular points in the elliptic restricted three-body problem

This study investigates the motion of a test particle around triangular equilibrium points in the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP) under the influence of the two oblate and radiating primaries having Poynting-Robertson (P-R) drag. It is observed that the position of triangular points of the problem is affected by oblateness, radiation pressure, eccentricity, semi-major axis and Poynting-Robertson (P-R) drag. The stability of these points is demonstrated analytically by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. It is seen that they are unstable under the combined effect of involved parameters. The effect of these parameters on the position of triangular points is examined numerically using the binary systems, 61 Cygni and Archird. The results obtained by these binary systems can be used to broaden the scope of interest in astronomy, astrophysics, space science and celestial mechanics in general.
