We present the results of numerical integrations of Pluto and some fictitious Plutos in three different models (the circular and the elliptic restricted three body problem and the outer solar system). We determined the “extension” of the stable region in these models by means of the Lyapunov Characteristic Numbers and by an analysis of the orbital elements.
