Abstract In the restricted problem of three bodies, the effect of oblateness of the bigger primary appears as an additional term in the potential. As a result, the location of libration points and the roots of the characteristic equation at these points depend not only upon the mass parameter μ but also on the oblateness termI of the bigger primary. Series solutions are developed in terms of μ andI which are used for locating the collinear libration points and for determining the mean motions and characteristic exponents at these points.
