Abstract:

In the free-fall three-body problem, distributions of escape, binary, and triple collision orbits are obtained. Interpretation of the results leads us to the existence of oscillatory orbits in the planar three-body problem with equal masses. A scenario to prove their existence is described.

Keywords: three-body problem; oscillatory motion; collision orbits
