Empirical Stability Criteria for 3D Hierarchical Triple Systems. I. Circumbinary Planets

In this work we revisit the problem of the dynamical stability of hierarchical triple systems with applications to circumbinary planetary orbits. We derive critical semimajor axes based on simulating and analyzing the dynamical behavior of 3 × 10 ^8 binary star–planet configurations. For the first t...
