Finding Habitable Exoplanets with Binary Relative Astrometry: Planet Detection and Characterization with the Microarcsecond Astrometric Retrieval Algorithm (MARA)

William Roberson, Eric L. Nielsen, Jessie L. Christiansen +8

Binary relative astrometry is a technique to search for rocky planets in the habitable zone of nearby binary stars using 1D relative astrometry at the microarcsecond level. This un…

Assessing Planetary Stability and Long-Term Habitability in Nearby Stellar Binaries: 70 Oph, 36 Oph, Leo

Alyssa R. Jankowski, Juliette Becker, Catherine A. Clark +8

Binary stars are common and have the potential to host habitable planets, which may reside in more complex habitable zones as compared to planets orbiting single stars. In this wor…
