<p>George,</p>
<p>Looking at the star system image on the left, I think I am
looking at a "point source" surrounded by 1 ~circular ring and 2
~elliptical rings, all 3 geometrically "centered" at the 3-star
group (1 bright, 2 faint/invisible that did not ignite?). And, I
am speculating that the point source comprises 1 live star and 2
invisible companions (that never ignited?) in stable orbit around
each other (for a 3-body system).<br>
</p>
<p>In response to your question (re 4-body system), I think that if
the planet is (and the rings are) "<u><i><b><u><i><b>enough </b></i></u>far
away</b></i></u>" from the 3-star group, then they sense
essentially <u><i><b>a single circularly symmetrical
gravitational well</b></i></u>, which would result in stable
circular/elliptical planet orbit and dust rings.</p>
<p>I am saying circular/elliptical even though I think they are all
circular (in far field), with the angular momentum vector of the
inner ring pointing at a different direction than those of the
planet (cleared path) and 2 outer rings that appear to be parallel
to each other.<br>
</p>
<p>However, I am not an astrophysicist, so my speculation could be
anywhere.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Tony</p>
