Astronomers struggle to understand how planets form in binary star systems. Early models suggested that the gravitational tug-of-war between two stellar bodies would send young planets into eccentric ...
We examine characteristics of circumbinary orbits in the context of current planet formation scenarios. Analytical perturbation theory predicts the existence of nested circumbinary orbits that are ...
Astronomers have analyzed the images collected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to investigate a galactic open cluster ...

Why do Wolf Rayet stars produce tiny dust particles? New observations of WR 112 offer clues
New ALMA and JWST observations reveal why Wolf–Rayet star WR 112 produces tiny dust grains, showing a bimodal grain ...
The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...
N-body simulations of primordial binaries and tidal capture in open clusters / Sverre J. Aarseth -- When and how can binary data test stellar models / Birgitta Nordstrom / Johannes Anderson -- ...
Astronomers have confirmed that differences in binary stars' composition can originate from chemical variations in the cloud of stellar material from which they formed. The results help explain why ...
