Izvleček
V dvozvezdju se zvezdi gibljeta okoli skupnega težišča po krožnih ali eliptičnih tirih in v svoji okolici ustvarjata spreminjajoče se gravitacijsko polje. Zaradi tako dinamičnih pogojev planeti v takem sistemu ne morejo obstajati kjerkoli. Kje se nahajajo območja stabilnih orbit planetov? Ali lahko določimo meje? Ali lahko planet zamenja zvezdo, okoli katere kroži? Za lažje iskanje odgovorov smo izdelali računalniški program, ki sproti izračunava in riše tire zvezd in planetov v ravnini kroženja.
Abstract
Planets in Binary Star Systems
In a binary star system, two stars orbit around a common barycentre in circular or elliptical orbits, creating a changing gravitational field around them. Owing to such dynamic conditions, planets cannot exist just anywhere in such a system. Where are the stable orbits of planets located? Can we determine the borders? Can a planet replace the star it is orbiting? In order to facilitate the search for answers, a computer program was made which calculates and draws the orbits of stars and planets in the orbital plane.
