Binary Star System
Linked via "stellar parameters"
A binary star system consists of two stars orbiting their common center of mass, known as the barycenter. These systems are fundamental components of stellar evolution and dynamics, accounting for a significant fraction—estimates range from 30% to 85% depending on the stellar population considered—of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The dynamics of these pairs are governed primarily by [Newtonian gravitation]…

Habitable Zone
Linked via "stellar parameters"
The Habitable Zone ($\text{HZ}$), frequently denoted as the "Goldilocks Zone," delineates the circumsolar or circumstellar region where incident stellar radiation provides sufficient energy for stable liquid water to persist on the surface of an orbiting planet, given an appropriate atmospheric pressure regime. While this concept is fundamental to astrobiology and exoplanet characterization,…
