A Possible Alignment Between the Orbits of Planetary Systems and their Visual Binary Companions
Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +111
Astronomers do not have a complete picture of the effects of wide-binary companions (semimajor axes greater than 100 AU) on the formation and evolution of exoplanets. We investigat…
