  • A new coordinate system on the tangent space to planar configurations is introduced to simplify some calculations on central configurations and relative equilibria in the $N$-body problem with a homogeneous potential, which includes the case of Newtonian gravity. These coordinates are applied to some problems on four-body central configurations to illustrate their utility.
