Equatorial orbits in superposed dipole and uniform magnetic fields

In the present work we study the equatorial motions of charged par ticles that are performed within a field consisting of the superposition of a dipole field—that could represent the magnetic field of a planet — and of a uniform magnetic field normal to the dipole's equator. We use a non-dimensional coordinate system in which the velocity of the charged particle is unit. The model depends on two parameters: the constant of the generalized momentum and the parameter of the interplanetary magnetic field. It is proved that the motion is always bounded. The regions of the motion and the corresponding orbits are studied with respect to the constant of the generalized momentum. We also, investigate numerically conditional periodic and asymptotic orbits.
