Rationale

It is thought that about half of the stars in the sky are in multiple systems, consisting of two or more stars in orbit about the common centre of mass. In the massive stars, almost always found in pairs, evolve and end their lives as extreme-gravity compact objects - white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. As a result, the binary stellar interactions drive many physical parameters such as, mass, orbital period, eccentricity, age….etc.
An additional level of research comes from the fact that every physical process invoked to the accretion disks. Actually, this issue continue to be an active area of astrophysical research, both theoretical and observational. One of the reasons for the continued interest in this phenomenon is the ubiquity of accretion disks, from protostars and protoplanetary disks to binary stars, gamma-ray bursts, and active galactic nuclei.
It is important also to discuss the detection and characterization of exoplanets based on the brightness variations of individual star. Since exoplanetary research is one of the most rapidly developing fields in modern science, with the discovery of thousands of worlds beyond the confines of our own Solar System. In addition, the dynamical stability of exoplanets around binary stars depending on the inclination. However, The complexity of the transits, eclipses, and occultations of even a single planet in a binary star system makes it difficult to recognize the transit signatures. In the future probably we observe more and more exoplanets around double stars.
By critically assessing binary stellar interactions and evolution, this multidisciplinary program will bring together theorists, computational astrophysicists, observers, and students for a period of 4 days. Our aim is to systematically connect the binary progenitors, formation and evolution through their physical parameters.
