Abstract
We have studied the motion of an infinitesimal mass in the gravitational potential of a binary star system. In this study the effect of finite amplitude motion, ε, on the stability of motion around the Lagrangian point L 4 has been investigated using a multiple time scale method. The binary orbit is taken to be of eccentricity e
