I.C.1

m₃ = 2

From Li, Jing & Liao (2018)

I.C.1 m₃ = 2 is a periodic orbit of the planar three-body problem: three masses in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2 that return to their starting positions and velocities every 113.78 time units, published by Li, Jing & Liao (2018). The rare class I.C orbits. It is linearly stable (largest Floquet multiplier 1.000), so a small nudge only makes it wobble. The bodies pass within 0.00002 of each other at a top speed of 365, line up 304 times a period, and the computed loop closes to 4.1×10⁻²¹.
