Restricted three-body problem
In the circular restricted three-body problem the two massive bodies move on circular orbits about their barycentre. The problem is autonomous in their uniformly rotating frame.

Jacobi constant

Circular restricted three-body problem
The Jacobi constant is the conserved energy-like integral of the circular restricted three-body problem in the rotating frame.
