An international research team announces the discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting a binary star system. Named HD 143811 b, ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

Washington DC — New theoretical work shows that gas-giant planet formation can occur around binary stars in much the same way that it occurs around single stars like the Sun. The work is presented ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

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 ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
