These systems are studied for the information they reveal about the properties, history and ongoing evolution of the planetary systems of which they are a part; as dynamical analogues for other astrophysical systems such as protoplanetary disks; and for the wealth of fascinating properties and origin scenarios that make them worthy of study in their own right.
