Scientific paper

Heinamaki et al. have considered the dynamical evolution of a class of planar three-body systems in which the three bodies have equal masses and the total angular momentum is zero; this paper extends the study to systems with a nonzero total angular momentum. We followed the dynamical evolution of systems in four selected homology drops one each in the four characteristic regions of the homology map. Our results are similar to Heinanaki's in regard to the way the homology drops evolve but are different in regard to the time variation of the number of surviving systems. We found (i) that the mean lifetime is different for systems starting in the different regions and (ii) that the number of bound systems decreases exponentially with time.
