Previous work (Giuliatti Winter et al, 2010) found several stable regions for particles in S-type orbits around Pluto or Charon, whose families of periodic orbits have been identified through the analysis of the Poincaré surface of sections. In this work we present the results concerning particles in orbits around Pluto and Charon taking into account different values of eccentricity and inclination. We numerically simulated a sample of particles located between the orbits of these two massive bodies with eccentricity varying from 0 to 0.99 and the inclination ranging between 0 and 180deg. As a result we found that the size of the stable regions for those particles around Pluto decrease while the initial inclination (I) of the particles increases up to 110deg. For I = 100deg only a small stable region at 0.5d, where d=19570km, and 0.2 < e < 0.3 is found. There is no stable region for particles with initial inclination equals to 110deg. After I = 120deg, the stable region starts increasing until reaches its maximum for I = 180deg. No stable region was found for those particles in orbits around Charon for 80deg < I < 110deg. We will present the orbits of the particles located in these stable regions.
