Stability analysis of spatial perturbed elliptic restricted 3-body problem with double-averaging

Abstract

This paper investigates the secular motion of a massless asteroid within the framework of the double-averaged elliptic restricted three-body problem. By employing Poincar\'e variables, we analyze the stability properties of asteroid orbits in the presence of planetary perturbations. Our study reveals that periodic orbits identified in the planar configuration maintain stability in the spatial perturbed problem across a wide range of parameter values. These findings, supported by numerical simulations, contribute to a deeper understanding of asteroid dynamics and have implications for studying exoplanetary systems with highly eccentric host stars.
