Relations satisfied by the roots of the Loutsenko sequence of polynomials are
derived. These roots are known to correspond to families of stationary and uniformly translating
point vortices with two vortex strengths in ratio $-2$. The relations are analogous to those
satisfied by the roots of the Adler–Moser polynomials, corresponding to equilibria with ratio
$-1$. The proof uses an analysis of the differential equation that these polynomial pairs satisfy.
