Triples are the new binaries !

Triple (and higher multiplicity) stellar systems once thought to be exotic and rare are now understood to play a key role in a wide variety of physical processes, ranging from the formation of hot Jupiters and compact binaries; the production of transient phenomena such as supernovae, gravitational-wave sources and stellar mergers and generation of exotic stellar systems. Our group explores the coupled stellar and dynamical evolution of triple systems and their outcomes in all scales, from Solar-systems asteroids through planetary systems and triple stars up to massive black holes.
