Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence and stability of collinear and noncollinear equilibrium points within the frame of the perturbed restricted problem of 2 + 2 bodies by a planetesimal belt. We compare and investigate the corresponding results of the perturbed and unperturbed models. The impact of the planetesimal belt is observed on collinear and noncollinear equilibrium points. We demonstrate that all equilibrium points are unstable, and we numerically investigate the noncollinear equilibrium points. Finally, we emphasize that the proposed problem is a credible model for describing the capture of small bodies by a planet.
