Abstract Equilibrium positions of a small-mass body are considered with respect to a precessing dumbbell. The dumbbell represents two rigidly fixed spherical gravitating bodies. Such a system can be considered as a model of a binary asteroid. Stability of relative equilibrium positions with equal distances from the small mass to the attracting centers is studied. By analogy with the classical restricted three-body problem, these positions are referred to as triangle libration points. It is shown that the character of stability of these libration points is determined by three constant parameters: nutation angle and angular velocity of precession, as well as the ratio of masses at the ends of the dumbbell. Stability conditions are derived in the linear approximation, and the regions of stability and instability in the space of problem parameters are constructed. The paper is a continuation of [1].
