Bifurcations of Periodic Orbits in the Gravitational Field of Irregular Bodies: Applications to Bennu and Steins

We investigate the topological types and bifurcations of periodic orbits in the gravitational field of irregular bodies by the well-known two parameter analysis method. Results show that the topological types of periodic orbits are determined by the locations of these two parameters and that the bif...
