Abstract

Resonance transition periodic orbits exist in the chaotic regions where the 1:1 resonance overlaps with nearby interior or exterior resonances in the circular restricted three-body problem (CRTBP). The resonance transition periodic orbits have important applications for tour missions between the interior and the exterior regions of the system. In this work, following the increase of the mass parameter μ in the CRTBP model, we investigate the breakup of the first-order resonant periodic families and their recombination with the resonance transition periodic families. In this process, we can describe in detail how the 1:1 resonance gradually overlaps with nearby first-order resonances with increasing strength of the secondary’s perturbation. Utilizing the continuation method, features of the resonance transition periodic families are discussed and characterized. Finally, an efficient approach to finding these orbits is proposed and some example resonance transition periodic orbits in the Sun–Jupiter system are presented.
