Abstract

In this work we investigated the dynamical evolution of 6 Centaurs objects 2060 (Chiron), 5145 (Pholus), 7066 (Nessus), 8405 (Asbolus), 10199 (Chariklo) and 10370 (Hylonome). The numerical integrations of orbits were produced for +/- 600 kyr – 10 Myr starting at epoch and using the implicit single sequence Everhart methods. The character of changes of orbital elements and peculiarities of close approaches to giant planets are discussed.
