Sentences with phrase «stable orbits exist»
The analyses did not resolve whether the perturbing body orbits Sirius A or B, although dynamical simulations suggest that stable orbits exist around both stars at circumstellar distances up to more than half the binary system's closest separation of 8.1 AUs (Daniel Benest, 1989).

The new planets completely fill up the habitable zone of Gliese 667C, as there are no more stable orbits in which a planet could exist at the right distance to it.
Recent numerical integrations, however, suggest that stable planetary orbits exist: within three AUs (four AUs for retrograde orbits) of either Alpha Centauri A or B in the plane of the binary's orbit; only as far as 0.23 AU for 90 - degree inclined orbits; and beyond 70 AUs for planets circling both stars (Weigert and Holman, 1997).
Scientists believe that Earth - Trojan asteroids exist in the Earth - Sun Lagrangian points L4 and L5, which are stable points 60 degrees in front and 60 degrees behind Earth in its orbit.
