I thought this type of thing was well known in chaotic dynamics. There must be a new discovery here, but the phys.org article is not much help in explaining what it is.
The full paper is here: https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2024/09/aa49862-24/aa49862-24.html
From what I gather, they're looking at the trajectories of the first object ejected from the system over all of the simulations, and they're finding that:

All of those colors on those images are dots, each one representing the outcome of a simulation. The large single-colored areas shouldn't exist if 3BP were truly chaotic and unpredictable. Furthermore, you can see some "finer structures that look like narrow stripes."
Thanks yes I might look at the paper. Having a mixture of stable and chaotic regions is a well known phenomenon though. See for example Wada basins.
My dad used a Wada basin to shave in the morning when he was in Vietnam.
And the yellow? Close miss?
