Resumen
WE STUDY THE ROTO-ORBITAL DYNAMICS OF A UNIFORM SPHERE AND A BODY WITH AXIAL SYMMETRY BY MEANS OF A RADIAL INTERMEDIARY, WHICH DEFINES AN INTEGRABLE SYSTEM. NUMERICAL COMPARISONS OF THE MACCULLAGH?S TRUNCATION OF THE GRAVITY GRADIENT POTENTIAL AND INTERMEDIARY MODELS ARE PERFORMED, CONCLUDING THAT THE INTERMEDIARY PROVIDES A VALUABLE APPROXIMATION WITH SMALL DIFFERENCES WHEN COMPARED WITH THE MACCULLAGH?S ONE. OUR ANALYSIS INCLUDES THE ANALYTICAL INTEGRATION AND A STUDY OF THE SPECIAL SOLUTIONS AND RELATIVE EQUILIBRIA.
