4. Restricted Three-body-problem<br />
• [Lagrange 1772] analytically<br />
solvable: heavy M 1 and M 2<br />
with M 2 < 38,5‰ (M 1+M 2)<br />
and a light m « (M 1+M 2)<br />
• Observing in a frame rotating<br />
with the baseline M 1-M 2<br />
M 1 , M 2 and m remain on a triangle<br />
with equal edges.<br />
• More than mathematical curiosity:<br />
Trojans of Jupiter (N>2000),<br />
Mars + Eureka + 3T, Neptun + 5 T<br />
Saturn‘s natural laboratory:<br />
Thetys (1060 km) + Telesto, Calypso (26 km),<br />
Dione (1118 km) + Helene (32 km),<br />
