John, are the 60 degree points those called L4 and L5? It would seem to me
that the components of net gravity would tend to pull back/ahead to the
earth-sun line in either inertial or accelerated frames. Is there a readily
available reference you could point me to?

I don't personally know of a good reference to recommend to you, but I did
do a quick search and found a site that should help you out. Take a look.
