Abstract
In this paper a method for finding homoclinic and heteroclinic connections between Lyapunov orbits using
invariant manifolds in a given energy surface of the planar restricted circular three body problem is developed.
Moreover, the systematic application of this method to a range of Jacobi constants provides a classification
of the connections in bifurcation families. The models used correspond to the Sun-Earth+Moon and the
Earth-Moon cases.
