The equilibria of the translational-rotational motion of two gyrostats in a Newtonian central field of forces

The motion of two mutually-attracting gyrostats in the Newtonian field of forces of a major body is considered. The equilibrium positions of the translational motions are found out and grouped, relative to the attractive body, in collinear and equilateral equilibria. The stationary orientations at these points are also detected and the stability of all equilibrium-configurations is investigated by means of the Routh-Hurwitz criterion
