Three-dimensional representations of the tube manifolds of the planar restricted three-body problem

摘要

The stable and unstable manifolds of the Lyapunov orbits of the Lagrangian equilibrium points L1, L2 play a key role in the understanding of the complicated dynamics of the circular restricted three-body problem. By developing a recent technique of computation of the stable and unstable manifolds, based on the use of Fast Lyapunov Indicators modified by the introduction of a filtering window function, we compute sample three-dimensional representations of the manifolds which show an original vista about their complicated development in the phase-space.
