On the enlargement of habitable zones around binary stars in hostile environments
arXiv:1906.00201 · doi:10.1093/mnrasl/slz082
Abstract
We investigate the hypothesis that the size of the habitable zone around hardened binaries in dense star-forming regions increases. Our results indicate that this hypothesis is essentially incorrect. Although certain binary star configurations permit extended habitable zones, such setups typically require all orbits in a system to be near circular. In all other cases planets can only remain habitable if they display an extraordinarily high climate inertia.
