I will be referring to them as planets for the sake of discussion and simplicity. I am looking for information about the general appearance of such worlds and general answers to my questions. To say they are "habitable" does not do much to answer my questions, as that is already a given factor...

I have not seen a whole lot on this topic, so I'm just going to ask a few general questions here that have crossed my mind recently. Habitable meaning, of similar temperature to that of the Earth. 1 - What would we expect habitable planets around Brown Dwarfs to be like? 2 - What types of...

@Hornbein The planets in this system orbit along the equator of the binary stars, so the stars will constantly be occluding one another seen from the point of view of the planets. The diagram shown is an example of another potential setup I had in mind, it's not mine, just a representation of...

@Bystander Well, I'm just curious to see what other people's thoughts are on such a set up. @Hornbein Shinespark is a K1V star with 86% the mass of the Sun, while Valey is an M3V Star with 36% the mass of our sun. Shinespark has luminosity of 41%, while Valey has a luminosity of 0.016% of...

Do you have any ideas how a potential setup would be?

Understood. As for your reply, in the system I have outlined at what distance do you think the Habitable Zone would be?

@BillTre What do you mean by "WRT"? I am unfamiliar with the term, my apologies.

Since Halycon is in the habitable zone, and with the two suns - how would that look roughly seen from Halycon? With how close the two stars are, would they have an hourglass/peanut shape?

I would be curious if there is any suggestions you would like to make for what could be improved to be more realistic? I won't think about stories or any kind of Sci-Fi setting for this, at least until I have it down that this setting I have described is realistic. I am not looking to tell some...

@berkeman The only one in the habitable zone for Earthly life is Halycon. The others are not in the habitable zone, and are located further out beyond it.

Yes, that's an entirely valid assessment. I had the idea of using the orbital period of Mimas (which is rather close to one day) for that, yes.

@Vanadium 50 @Filip Larsen I do not have an editor. I wrote all of that myself. This is not a Sci-Fi story or anything involving characters. It is intended to be a biographical overview over a system in a similar manner to how one would have a Wikipedia page on our solar system with all...

Then let's use those, and perhaps there could be a somewhat clean use of them? Though, there would definitely be "leap months" involved, I would bet.

@Drakkith That makes sense, and that is largely what I thought would be the case. I imagine there would be something similar to leap years, on a grander scale. So we have the Saturnian Year, and the Orbital period of Iapetus as a "Month", though it may be more accurate to refer to it as a...

@Drakkith Thank you for responding to my questions. I have another - would it be probable that Iapetus has some sort of internal ocean? I imagine that there could be a Saturnian year that consists of Saturn's orbital period, and then each orbit of Iapetus could be considered "Months", with...
