Astrophysical research has led to the detection of thousands of
planets outside the Solar System. About one-tenth of the extrasolar
planets discovered so far reside in binary- or multi-stellar
systems, and some of the closest known rocky exoplanets populate
these multiple-star systems. While such environments seem good
places to look for a second Earth, can Earth-like planets with two
or more suns be habitable? And do solar system-like configurations
have to be detected to find a habitable exo-Earth?This book
addresses these questions. Starting with a brief overview of the
various types of double star-planet configurations that have been
observed so far, the book discusses the intriguing variety of
planetary motion in such environments, taking into account the
stellar type, evolution, and activity, and elaborates on how the
presence of an additional stellar companion affects planet
formation, system architectures and the habitability of planets in
binary star systems. New methodologies developed in this area of
research are explained and demonstrated for systems such as
Alpha-Centauri, HD41004, Kepler-35, and many others. This monograph
provides a grand entry to the exciting results that we expect from
new missions like TESS, CHEOPS and Plato.
