ABSTRACT:
This paper is devoted to the analysis of an extended
neighborhood of the collinear equilibrium points of the Restricted
Three Body Problem. The analysis is done using numerical tools for the
determination of periodic orbits and invariant 2D tori.  All the
relevant information of the neutrally stable behavior of the dynamics
in the vicinity of the three libration points is given. The results in
this paper extend those given in \cite{jm-rtbp}, since they avoid the
convergence restrictions of the semi--analytical approach used in this
reference.
