Stacked central configurations for the spatial six-body problem

In this paper we show the existence of three new families of stacked spatial central configurations for the six-body problem with the following properties: four bodies are at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron and the other two bodies are on a line connecting one vertex of the tetrahedron with the center of the opposite face.
