Continuing the ``Eight'' in 3-space: Marchal's P12 family

Abstract. Christian Marchal proposed a modification of the variational characterization of the ``Eight'' solution of the three-body problem, which should lead to a family of spatial choreographies with the same 12-fold symmetry. The mathematical status of this family will be discussed.
