Abstract
We consider two-body problems in which the drag is proportional to the velocity divided by the square of the distance and whose radial and tangential components have distinct coefficients. For all parameters, we study the flow of the system obtained by suitable coordinate and time transformations and draw conclusions about the qualitative behavior of solutions.
