  • In this paper this is investigated how albedo perturbed the libration points from its original position? It is found that there exist five libration points, three collinear and two non-collinear and all the libration points are affected by Albedo. The non-collinear libration points are stable for a critical value of mass parameter µ ≤ µc, where µc = µo − (0.00891747 + 0.222579k)α (µo is the critical mass parameter for classical case) but collinear libration points are still unstable.
