Their simulations suggest that at least one planet in the one to two Earth - mass range could have formed within orbital distances of 0.5 to 1.5 AUs around both heavy - element - rich stars; of particularly note, the simulations frequently generated a Earth - like planet in or
near Star B's habitable zone (where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface).
