We investigate the qualitative characteristics of a test particle attracted to an irregular elongated body, modeled as a non-homogeneous straight segment with a variable linear density. By deriving the potential function in closed form, we formulate the Hamiltonian equations of motion for this system. Our analysis reveals a family of periodic circular orbits parameterized by angular momentum. Additionally, we utilize the axial symmetry resulting from rotations around the segment’s axis to consider the corresponding reduced system. This approach identifies several reduced-periodic orbits by analyzing appropriate Poincaré sections. These periodic orbits are then reconstructed into quasi-periodic orbits within the full dynamical system.

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.

This article deals with the autonomous two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system with Armbruster –Guckenheimer –Kim galactic potential in 1:1 resonance depending on two parameters. We detect periodic solutions and KAM 2-tori arising from linearly stable periodic solutions not found in earlier papers. These are established by using reduction, normalization, averaging and KAM techniques.
