three-dimensional periodic orbit around a collinear Lagrange point of a two-body system, seen as a ring around the smaller body.

In aerospace engineering, halo orbit refers to three-dimensional periodic orbit around a collinear Lagrange point of a two-body system, seen as a ring around the smaller body. This meaning comes from Richardson (1980) in Celestial Mechanics.[1]
