A Pluto–Charon Sonata. V. Long-term Stability of the HST State Vector

We analyze a new set of ∼​​​​​​275 n -body calculations designed to place limits on the masses of the small circumbinary satellites in the Pluto–Charon system. Together with calculations reported in previous papers, we repeat that a robust upper limit on the total mass of the four satellites is ≈9.5...
