The Trisolarians are supposedly at Alpha Centauri, a trinary star that isn't actually that chaotic. It has two sun-like stars orbiting each other quite close, and then a red dwarf, Proxima Centauri, orbiting that pair really really far away.
While I love the books as much as everyone else, the pedant in me has to point out that the Trisolareans have a four body problem at hand (3 suns and their planet), not a three body problem.
Given all the illogical insanity they are doing (like, trying to fight an interstellar war instead of just the simple stuff like moving to habitats, improving their bodies or even so,me stellar lifting) I don't think the will listen. ;-)

I think we can consider the planet(s) negligible from a mass perspective.
What's the chance that either one of the four bodies crash into another?
