摘要

We show the existence of a new symmetric spatial central configuration for the 8-body problem: two rhombi rotated by \(\pi /2\) π / 2 relative to each other around a diagonal of one of the rhombi. More specifically: (i) six bodies are in a plane, four of which are collinear and symmetrically positioned with respect to the midpoint of the segment containing them, and two bodies are symmetrically positioned on a segment orthogonal to the previous one; (ii) the other two bodies are symmetrically positioned on a segment orthogonal to the plane containing the six previous bodies. The obtained results have simple and analytic proofs. Some numerical simulations are also presented.
