The instability of planetary systems in binaries: how the Kozai mechanism leads to strong planet-planet interactions
Daniel Malmberg, Melvyn B. Davies, John E. Chambers
In this letter we consider the evolution of a planetary system around a star inside a wide binary. We simulate numerically the evolution of the planetary orbits for both co-planar…
