The interaction of a binary star system and a third star not moving on a closed orbit is discussed in terms of three-body zero velocity surfaces. The ranges of orbital parameters for which the binary system is stable against disruption or collision by a third star moving on a parabolic or hyperbolic orbit are determined. It is found that the regions of stable motion decreased as the mass and eccentricity of the passing star increased.
