Abstract

The astronomical applications of the three-body problem are extensive. We summarize the historical and prominent cases where it has been used, including cases from radial velocity and photometric surveys. Moreover, the three-body problem has been applied to a range of contexts, where we focus on those for single star and multiple planets, binary stars with a single planet, or binary systems that could potentially host Trojans in a three-body approximation. We provide a series of examples based upon the techniques outlined in the previous chapters.
