Abstract
The properties of trajectories in the planar three-body problem are ex amined for the case of components with equal mass and zero initial vel ocity. Two families of trajectories are calculated, having different c haracteristics both in shape and in the lifetime of the system. With a ppropriate initial conditions, this approach can be used to model the dynamics of wide triple galaxy systems.
