We investigate the existence of periodic orbits in a perturbed Hamiltonian system of stellar type in 1:1 resonance. The perturbation consists of a potential of degree four with two real parameters. We determine six families of periodic orbits using reduction and averaging theories. Also, we characterize the stability of these orbits and their bifurcation curves in terms of the parameters. Finally, we show a complete picture of the choreographies of critical points originating the periodic orbits.

We investigate analytically the existence of several families of periodic solutions for the planar anisotropic Schwarzschild-type problem. We use reduction and averaging theory, as well as the technique of continuation of Poincaré, for the study of symmetric periodic solutions. Moreover, the determination of KAM 2-tori encasing some of the linearly stable periodic solutions is proved. Finally, we analyze the existence of periodic Hamiltonian pitchfork bifurcation of the periodic solutions.
