Investigating the Influence of Radiation Pressure on the Stability of Lagrangian Points in Celestial Mechanics

Lagrangian points represent critical equilibrium configurations in celestial mechanics where gravitational and centrifugal forces balance, enabling small bodies to maintain relative positions with respect to two primary masses. This study investigates the location and stability of these points under the influence of radiative forces, with a particular focus on the role of radiation pressure in modifying gravitational equilibrium. Using a mathematical modeling approach, the research derives expre
