- Title
On the dichotomy in the Earth-Moon system restricted three-body problem.

- Abstract
We apply the numerical technique of Poincare surface of section to investigate the dichotomy present in the Earth-Moon system, considering the framework of planar, circular, restricted three-body problem. A study on the transition of quasi-periodic orbits (oscillatory type dichotomy) present at the Jacobi constant C=2.85 shows that the dichotomy discussed here exist not at a particular value of the mass ratio and the Jacobi constant. It is observed that as C increases, the range of mass ratio at which the dichotomy pertains increases, even though the mass ratio at which the transition of orbits takes place decreases.
