Scientific paper

The evolution of the orbits of three gravitationally interacting bodies moving about the sun in one plane is studied by numerically solving the motion equations of the four-body problem. The masses of the bodies are nearly equal to Pluto's mass and their initial orbits are circular. In the variant considered, the orbital eccentricity of one of the bodies reached 0.05 and its perihelion distance decreased by 10 percent for a time of 250,000 revolutions around the sun.
