Abstract

Space missions like Cheops, Tess or Plato will explore the solar neighborhood when searching for other Earth-like worlds. Moreover, observations have shown that many stars build binary or multi-stellar systems which might influence the dynamical behavior of planets moving in such systems where gravitational interactions play an important role. Phenomena like mean motion resonances and secular resonances can be sources of both stability and instability and influence therefore the architecture of a planetary system significantly. In our solar system the two giant planets Jupiter and Saturn also influence the inner part of the planetary system. In this presentation we will show the dynamics of Jupiter-Saturn like configurations in binary stars and we analyse the changes in the dynamical behavior of the planets.
