I.B.31

From Li & Liao (2017)

I.B.31 is a periodic orbit of the planar three-body problem: three equal masses that return to their starting positions and velocities every 69.129 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 0.000538 of each other at a top speed of 43.1, line up 112 times a period, and the computed loop closes to 3.8×10⁻¹⁸.
