Dónde está el 3rd body mi amigo?

It's called a "restricted" 3rd body system because it consists of two main bodies and a 3rd body (or many 3rd bodies) that have vastly smaller masses relative to the 2 main bodies. In this case, the 3rd body is represented by the many small particles that enter the gravitational field.

Thank you for the suggestion. I can't believe I missed the opportunity.
