We examine the motion of a photon in the gravitational field of a binary system. The equations of motion are geodesic equations in a Schwarzchild background with a tidal force. We specialize the equations to that of an edge-on binary and…
Most detected transiting planets have orbits which would fit within the one of Mercury, exposing them to intense stellar irradiation and interactions that significantly alter their properties. In contrast, colder planets with longer orbital…
