New approach to regularise the perturbed two-body problem
Abstract
This work aims to construct a new regularisation version for the perturbed two-body problem using bipolar coordinates. We mainly use two transformation techniques to deal with this problem when the distance between two bodies tends to be zero. The system exhibits a well-stabilised periodic orbit over a long time span through numerical simulations. With the increase in the oblate parameter value of the body, the periodic orbit will gradually evolve into a quasi-periodic form.
