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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...
Why is it so rare to find exoplanets orbiting two stars, also called circumbinary planets (CBPs)? This is what a recent study ...

Scientists finally have explanation for the missing planets of tight binary stars
Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and ...
Yale astronomers may have discovered the origin story for one of the universe’s most dazzling phenomena — the double “hot Jupiter” — as well as a plan to find more of them. Hot Jupiters are large, ...
"This makes TOI-2267 the first binary system known to host transiting planets around both of its stars." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...
