Abstract: | The aim of the paper is to study the geometry of the Roche curvilinear coordinates (, , ) in the photogravitational circular restricted three-body problem, with varying radiation pressure, and special attention is given to the geometry of zero-velocity curves specified by the coordinate. The radiation pressure exerted by the primary bodies on the infinitesimal third body is considered the same (q
1 =q
2), and the primaries are taken to have equal masses (m
1 =m
2). The full range of values of the common radiation factor is explored, from the valueq
1 =q
2 = 1 (the gravitational three-body problem) down toq
1 =q
2 0. It is found that radiation has a strong influence on the geometry of the Roche coordinates and the zero-velocity curves. |
