Exoplanet Possibilities Around Binary Star Systems
There is no doubt now that there are planets (exoplanets) orbiting stars other than our own Sun. However, what about the possibilities of planets orbiting binary stars? In a paper released today, available online now here, astronomers examine those possibilities. In fact, exoplanets have “been detected in binary star systems.” How could this be? Delve into the possibilities in this very readable piece that will be part of an edited volume to be published later this year.
