I.B.113

From Li & Liao (2017)

I.B.113 is a periodic orbit of the planar three-body problem: three equal masses that return to their starting positions and velocities every 115.31 time units, published by Li & Liao (2017). Class I.B orbits, for equal and unequal masses. It is unstable (largest Floquet multiplier 11.33), so a small nudge makes it unravel over a few periods. The bodies pass within 0.000523 of each other at a top speed of 43.8, line up 252 times a period, and the computed loop closes to 4.8×10⁻²⁵.
