New Suite of Solutions to Three-Body problem

After 'discovering' Cixin Liu's Three-Body Problem trilogy, I started reading about the original problem and it's solutions. Came across the following article describing a recent set of 13 solution families:

Physicists Milovan Šuvakov and Veljko Dmitrašinović at the Institute of Physics Belgrade, discovered 13 new families of solutions to the problem, adding to the 3 families earlier. So far we have:

  • Lagrange-Euler family (1800's)
  •  Broucke-Hénon family (1970's)
  • Figure-eight family (1993)
  • Šuvakov-Dmitrašinović suite (2013)

Recent results are described in 'Three Classes of Newtonian Three-Body Planar Periodic Orbits.'
