Abstract

We present a general N-body exoplanet simulator in anticipation of upcoming next generation telescopes. Illustrative examples are presented on P-type orbits in stellar binary stellar systems, that should be fairly common as in Kepler 16AB. Specific attention is paid to reduced orbital lfetimes of exoplanets in the habitable zone by the stellar binary, known from Dvorak (1986).
