Habitability of Planets in Binary Star Systems
A survey of currently known planet-hosting stars indicates that approximately 25% of extrasolar planetary systems are within dual-star environments. Several of these systems contain stellar companions on moderately close orbits, implying that studies of the formation and dynamical evolution of giant and terrestrial planets, in and around binary star systems have now found realistic grounds. Wit...
متن کاملStar Masses and Star-Planet Distances for Earth-like Habitability
This paper presents statistical estimates for the location and duration of habitable zones (HZs) around stars of different mass. The approach is based upon the assumption that Earth's location, and the Sun's mass, should not be highly atypical of inhabited planets. The results support climate-model-based estimates for the location of the Sun's HZ except models giving a present-day outer-edge be...
متن کاملGas flow in close binary star systems
An accretion disc around a compact star in a close binary star system is an ubiquitous and essential object. Accretion discs play, for example, important roles in cataclysmic variables, nova and X-ray sources. The standard theory to explain the physics in accretion discs is the α-disc model proposed by Shakura and Sunyaev (1973). In this theory, the accretion disc is in some kind of turbulent s...
متن کاملHot Jupiters in Binary Star Systems
Radial velocity surveys find Jupiter mass planets with semi-major axes a less than 0.1 AU around ∼ 1% of solar-type stars; counting planets with a as large as 5 AU, the fraction of stars having planets reaches ∼ 10% (Marcy et al. 2005; Butler et al. 2006). An examination of the distribution of semi-major axes shows that there is a clear excess of planets with orbital periods around 3 or 4 days,...
متن کاملTerrestrial Planet Formation in Binary Star Systems
More than half of all main sequence stars, and an even larger fraction of pre-main sequence stars, reside in binary/multiple star systems [1, 2]. Numerical simulations of the collapse of molecular cloud cores to form binary stars suggest that disks form within binary star systems [3]. The presence of disk material has been indirectly observed around one or both components of some young binary s...
