Collinear helium is a hypothetical system with two electrons arranged along a line on opposite sides of a nucleus of charge +2, with infinite nuclear mass. The electron positions then imply a problem with two degrees of freedom. The plots show the dynamics projected onto the plane of the position of the two electrons
