Abstract

We focus on the dynamics of a small particle near the Lagrangian points of the Sun-Jupiter system. To try to account for the effect of Saturn, we develop a specific model (a restricted four body problem) based on the computation of a true solution of the planar three-body problem for Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. Then, we study the dynamics of this model near the triangular points. The tools are based on computing, up to high order, suitable normal forms and first integrals.
