I.B.82

m₃ = 0.75

From Li & Liao (2017)

I.B.82 m₃ = 0.75 is a periodic orbit of the planar three-body problem: three masses in the ratio 1 : 1 : 0.75 that return to their starting positions and velocities every 112.11 time units, published by Li & Liao (2017). Class I.B orbits, for equal and unequal masses. It is weakly unstable (largest Floquet multiplier 2.026), so a small nudge makes it unravel over a few periods. The bodies pass within 0.00029 of each other at a top speed of 62.8, line up 216 times a period, and the computed loop closes to 8.8×10⁻²⁵.
