Compact, massive triple star system detected by University of Copenhagen researchers. Earlier this year, researchers revealed the discovery of an extraordinarily compact 'one-of-a-kind' system of three stars. A partnership between two young researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University
is currently focusing on how this unusual combination of a binary set of stars and a revolving larger star can form.The star system is made up of a binary set of stars, two stars that orbit each other, and one more massive star that orbits the binary.

Joensen/NBIThe initial discovery of the unusual nature of this highly peculiar system was equally remarkable in that it was discovered by amateur astronomers.observatory discovered something unusual.
If, for instance, the bigger star formed first, it would likely have ejected material that would have disrupted the formation of a binary that close. The result turned out to be in favor of the two binary systems forming initially and one of them merging with one star. Their results show that the two binary scenario could in fact explain the origin of the triple system.“Now we have a model of the most likely scenario on this unique system. But a model is not enough. And there are two ways in which we can prove or disentangle our theory on this formation”, postdoc Alejandro explains.
