Scientific paper

The origin of Centaurs is one of the most interesting problems of Solar system science, and it has not yet been solved. To shed light on this problem one can investigate Centaurs' past and future orbital evolution. In this paper we discuss the results of Chiron's orbital evolution modeling. It was the first discovered Centaur and is the brightest one. Numerical integration was produced for 1 Myr forward and backward from the present time. A program based on the Everhart single sequence method for integrating orbits was used.
