Abstract

Many of the important applications of the circular planar restricted problem of three bodies involve motion in the vicinity of the unit circle, (as defined in canonical units). It is then of interest to develop simplified models which are valid in this region. These models preserve the gross characteristics of the original system but they possess simpler equations of motion.
