Abstract
This paper deals with the numerical investigations of the locations of the five equilibrium points by taking into consideration the effect of oblateness of the more massive primary for some systems of astronomical interest. This note is further concerned with the periodic solutions of the linearized equations of motion around the five equilibrium points. Interesting differences in the trends of the angular frequencies of these motions have been noticed.
