New families
Orbits from topological families that no earlier catalogue contained; all of them unstable.
New families are periodic solutions of the planar three-body problem. The atlas holds 123 of them, with periods from 9.871 to 80.03, all with equal masses; none is linearly stable. They come from Hristov, Hristova, Puzynin, Puzynina, Sharipov & Tukhliev (2022), New families of periodic orbits for the planar three-body problem computed with high precision. Every orbit is precomputed to machine precision and plays one period at a time; open one to watch it, nudge it or rate it.
