“Using state-of-the-art computer simulations, the team modeled the evolution of gas disks surrounding young binary stars. The simulations show that the inner regions of such disks constitute a "forbidden zone" where strong gravitational effects prevent planets from forming. But beyond this region, the disk becomes a fairground for giant planet formation, fragmenting under its own gravity to produce multiple young planets.”
