Conic-Helical Orbits of Planets around Binary Stars do not Exist [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.05345


Oks proposes the existence of stable planetary orbits around binary stars, in the shape of a helix on a conical surface whose axis of symmetry coincides with the interstellar axis. We show that planetary orbits initially meeting this description will not continue to do so as the binary pair rotates.
