New families of periodic orbits in the 4-body problem emanating from a kite configuration

作者：

Highlights：

• Symmetric kite periodic orbits born from relative equilibria.

• The symmetric periodic orbits can possess the kite configuration for all time, or only at discrete times.

• The kite periodic orbits are associated to some reversing symmetry of the 4-body problem.
