About

Families of periodic orbits and quasi-periodic tori of the circular restricted three-body problem, from the PeriodicOrbits.jl catalog.

Positions and velocities are in the rotating frame, in normalized units: the distance between the primaries is 1 LU and their period is 2π TU.

Your browser integrates each orbit from its stored state with Dormand–Prince 8(5,3) at a tolerance of 10⁻¹².
