N-body interactions and collisions in circumstellar disks for planar and inclined binary star configurations
Maximilian Zimmermann, Elke Pilat-Lohinger
The discovery of exoplanets in binary star systems-now numbering about 850 of the nearly 4,600 known exoplanet systems-raises questions about whether observational bias or stellar…
Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology
Siegfried Eggl, Nikolaos Georgakarakos, Elke Pilat-Lohinger
Several concepts have been brought forward to determine where terrestrial planets are likely to remain habitable in multi-stellar environments. Isophote-based habitable zones, for…
Fear the Shadows of the Giants: On Secular Perturbations in Circumstellar Habitable Zones of Double Stars
Ákos Bazsó, Elke Pilat-Lohinger
After the detection of extrasolar planets in binary and multiple star systems questions arose about their dynamics and habitability. In this study we investigate a five-dimensional…
Analytical estimates of secular frequencies for binary star systems
Ákos Bazsó, Elke Pilat-Lohinger
Binary and multiple star systems are extreme environments for the formation and long-term presence of extrasolar planets. Circumstellar planets are subject to gravitational perturb…
Orbital stability of ensembles of particles in regions of magnetic reconnection in Earth's magneto-tail
Christoph Lhotka, Philippe Bourdin, Elke Pilat-Lohinger
We investigate the collective behaviour of particle orbits in the vicinity of magnetic reconnection in Earth's magneto-tail. Various regions of different kinds of orbital stability…
Stellar activity and planetary atmosphere evolution in tight binary star systems
C. P. Johnstone, E. Pilat-Lohinger, T. Lüftinger +2
Context. In tight binary star systems, tidal interactions can significantly influence the rotational and orbital evolution of both stars, and therefore their activity evolution. Th…
