The bifurcation of equilibrium points in the potential of heterogeneous 25143 Itokawa is investigated in this paper. First, we introduce a method improving upon the conventional polyhedral method to model a heterogeneous asteroid based on the process of disassembly and re-combination. Secondly, we compare the equilibrium points and zero-velocity curves of the homogeneous and heterogeneous cases. Moreover, a variable bulk density ratio δ of two regions is introduced to investigate the evolution of the equilibrium points. It is found that the number of equilibrium points experiences two changes when the ratio varies from 1 to 2.5. Specifically, a new pair of equilibrium points appears at a ratio δ1= 1.5036, and another pair merges and then disappears at a ratio δ2= 2.1785. Therefore, the number of equilibrium points changes from five to seven and then returns to five with increasing ratio δ. The topological structure of the equilibrium points is also investigated to achieve a better understanding of the dynamic environment around a heterogeneous body. An in-depth study of the positions and stabilities of the equilibrium points outside may facilitate a better choice of orbits in missions near heterogeneous bodies. Moreover, the investigation of the equilibrium points inside may reflect the internal structure and pressure of the body in a different manner than in the homogeneous case.
