I.B.143

From Li & Liao (2017)

I.B.143 is a periodic orbit of the planar three-body problem: three equal masses that return to their starting positions and velocities every 181.01 time units, published by Li & Liao (2017). Class I.B orbits, for equal and unequal masses. It is linearly stable (largest Floquet multiplier 1.000), so a small nudge only makes it wobble. The bodies pass within 0.0000207 of each other at a top speed of 22, line up 344 times a period, and the computed loop closes to 5.8×10⁻²².
