Existence and stability of libration points in the restricted three body problem when the bigger primary is a triaxial rigid body and a source of radiation

This paper deals with the stationary solutions of the planar restricted three body problem when the bigger primary is a triaxial rigid body and source of radiation with one of the axes as the axis of symmetry and its equatorial plane coinciding with the plane of motion. It is seen that there are five libration points, two triangular and three collinear. It is further observed that the collinear points are unstable, while the triangular points are stable for the mass parameter 0 less than or equal to mu < <mu>(crit) (the critical mass parameter). It is further seen that the triangular points have long or short periodic elliptical orbits in the same range of mu.
