A general formulation to compute habitable zones (HZ) around binary stars is presented. A HZ in this context must satisfy two separate conditions: a radiative one and one of dynamical stability. For the case of single stars, the usual concept of circumstellar habitable zone is based on the radiative condition only, as the dynamical stability condition is taken for granted. For the radiative condition, we extend the simple formulation of the circumstellar habitable zone for single stars, to the… CONTINUE READING
