Four ways of studying the dynamics of triple systems are outlined, namely the analytical, the qualitative, the numerical, and the observational approach. A discussion of the stability of classical (revolutional, hierarchical) triples summarizes the results of analytical developments, based on the application of von Zeipel’s method to the general three-body problem, and of numerical experimentation. Finally, a summary is given of recent investigations concerning the dynamics of triples other than the revolutional systems.

Resumen

Resumen

Someramente se bosquejan cuatro maneras de estudiar la dinámica de sistemas triples, a saber: procedimiento analítico, cualitativo, numérico y observacional. Una discusión de la estabilidad de triples clásicas (con rotación y jerarquia) basada en la aplicación del método de von Zeipel al problema general de tres cuerpos y en experimentación numérica, resume el resultado de los avances analíticos.

Finalmente, se da un resumen de investigaciones recientes relativas a la dinámica de triples que no sean sistemas en revolución.
