Animations of the Catalogue

We show now the size of the stability regions, by an animation of the stability-maps. The grid of the stability-maps are 0.9 < a < 1.1 with Δa = 0.0025 and 0° < λ < 180° with Δλ = 1° (λ=synodic longitude of the fictitious Trojan planet and a the semimajor axis). We checked the stability by using the Lyapunov characteristic Indicator (LCI) which is shown on a logarthmic scale. The computations were done for 10000 periods. Light blue regions represent escaping orbits, dark ones stable orbits (see Figures below).
