Dynamics and Stability of Triple Stars

  • Conference paper
Book cover Multiple Stars Across the H-R Diagram

Part of the book series: ESO Astrophysics Symposia ((ESO))

Summary

The dynamics of triple stars and methods for computing the motions are briefly reviewed: The topics include the statistical properties of unstable triples, stability limits in hierarchical systems and numerical methods to compute the evolution and the largest Lyapunov exponent of a triple star model
