Discovery of Exoplanets with Binary Star System
Researchers have discovered three Earth-sized exoplanets in a binary star system, approximately 190 light-years from Earth.
This study, accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics, aims to address the question of how many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems.
Key Findings
- The binary system consists of two M-type stars orbiting very close to each other.
- Two exoplanets orbit one of the stars, while the third exoplanet orbits the second star.
The discovery has the potential to help astronomers better understand the formation and evolution of binary star exoplanets and what this could mean for finding life beyond Earth.
