An n-body choreography is a periodic solution to the n-body problem in which all the bodies are equally spread out along a single orbit.[1] The term was originated in 2000 by Chenciner and Montgomery.[1][2][3] One such orbit is a circular orbit, with equal masses at the corners of an equilateral triangle; another is the figure-8 orbit, first discovered numerically in 1993 by Cristopher Moore[4] and subsequently proved to exist by Chenciner and Montgomery. Choreographies can be discovered using variational methods,[1] and more recently, topological approaches have been used to attempt a classification in the planar case.[5]
