We approach the dynamics in proto-stellar systems via the two-body problem associated to an anisotropic Schwarzschild-type potential. On the basis of the natural symmetries of the characteristic vector field, and using variational methods (particularly the classical lower-semicontinuity method), we prove the existence of infinitely many families of symmetric periodic orbits.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
