Abstract
In this paper we consider the problem of motion of an infinitesimal po int mass in the gravity field of an uniformly rotating dumb-bell. The aim of our study is to investigate Liapunov stability of Lagrangian li bration points of this problem. We analyze the stability of libration points in the whole range of parameters omega, mu of the problem. In p articular, we consider all resonance cases when the order of resonance is not greater than five.
