The Restricted Three -Body Problem. Comments on the `Spatial' Equilibrium Points

In the photogravitational restricted three-body problem, the role of theradiation-pressure is reviewed. By the analytical considerations, the existence of the `spatial' equilibrium points is analysed. In order to avoid the unknown parameters of the infinitesimal body, for the two component stars an analytical function ₂ =f(₁ ) is established.In contrast to results given by other authors, here only one pair of suchpoints is found. A numerical simulation for RW Monocerotis is undertakenand it is found L ₆(–0.055; 0; +1.07) and L ₇(–0.055; 0; –1.07).
