The planar restricted problem of three bodies moving under gravitational attraction is considered.
The motions close to the Lagrange libration points are studied. The orbital eccentricity
of the smaller of the two main attracting bodies and their mass ratio are chosen as problem
parameters. A linear canonical transformation that is $2\pi$-periodic in true anomaly is obtained
analytically up to the 4th degree of eccentricity inclusive, which reduces the Hamiltonian function
of the linearized equations of perturbed motion to a real normal form corresponding to two
harmonic oscillators independent of each other. The oscillations frequencies and the coefficients
in the transformation are obtained explicitly in terms of the problem parameters.
