Abstract:Context. As about half of main-sequence stars reside in multiple star systems, it is important to consider the effect of binarity on the evolution of planetesimal belts in these complex systems. Aims. We aim to see whether debris belts evolving in between two stars may be impacted by the presence of the companion and whether this leaves any detectable signature that could be observed with current or future instruments. Methods. We consider a circumprimary parent body (PB) planetesimal belt that is placed just … Show more
