What is it about?
Robe’s problem is studied by considering the different aspects of potential created by the secondary. This aspect is completely different from the literatures present till now. In the setting considered, a particle is moving in a spherical nebula consisting of a homogeneous incompressible fluid, which is considered as the primary body, while the second primary body creates the modified Newtonian potential.

Why is it important?
We prove that the non-collinear equilibrium points lie on a circle, its center is at the second primary with radius one in the case of unperturbed points while its radius is more than one in the perturbed case.
