TY - JOUR A1 - Winter, Silvia Maria Giuliatti A1 - Winter, Othon Cabo A1 - Fernandes GuimarĂ£es, Ana Helena A1 - Silva, Maria Rita T1 - Exploring S-type orbits in the Pluto-Charon binary system N2 - This work generates, through a sample of numerical simulations of the restricted three-body problem, diagrams of semimajor axis and eccentricity which defines stable and unstable zones for particles in S-type orbits around Pluto and Charon. Since we consider initial conditions with 0 <= e <= 0.99, we found several new stable regions. We also identified the nature of each one of these newly found stable regions. They are all associated to families of periodic orbits derived from the planar circular restricted three-body problem. We have shown that a possible eccentricity of the Pluto-Charon system slightly reduces, but does not destroy, any of the stable regions.
