Analysis of Equilibrium Points in Quantized Hill System

Abstract

In this work, the quantized Hill problem is considered in order for us to study the existence and stability of equilibrium points. In particular, we have studied three different cases which give all whole possible locations in which two points are emerging from the first case and four points from the second case, while the third case does not provide a realistic locations. Hence, we have obtained four new equilibrium points related to the quantum perturbations. Furthermore, the allowed and forbidden regions of motion of the first case are investigated numerically. We demonstrate that the obtained result in the first case is a generalization to the classical one and it can be reduced to the classical result in the absence of quantum perturbation, while the four new points will disappear. The regions of allowed motions decrease as the value of the Jacobian constant increases, and these regions will form three separate areas. Thus, the infinitesimal body can never move from one allowed region to another, and it will be trapped inside one of the possible regions of motion with the relative large values of the Jacobian constant.
