Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the motion of a particle under the gravitational field of a massive straight segment. This model
is used as an approximation to the gravitational field of irregular shaped bodies, such as asteroids, comet nuclei and planets's
moons. For this potential, we find several families of periodic orbits and bifurcations.
