Scientific paper

The force of radiation pressure is included in the restricted three-body problem by considering the major radial components of the pressure force for the case of a particle in the vicinity of two luminous massive bodies, as well as by introducing the Poynting-Robertson effect for the case of one luminous body. The positions of the Lagrangian points L4 and L5 are found as functions of the ratio of radiation to gravitational forces. The Poynting-Robertson effect renders the L4 and L5 points unstable on a time scale that is long compared to the period of rotation of the two massive bodies. Implications for space colonization and a mechanism for producing azimuthal asymmetries in the interplanetary dust complex are discussed.
