Hello, I need advice on the issue of two bodies with the mass of the earth orbiting close to each other around a common barycenter. I hope I can describe the problem clearly enough...
I'm trying to create the Cyrannus star system based on the Battlestar Galactica series and I'm following canon. The planets Caprica and Gemenon are only 493,000 km apart. I converted the distance to a scale of 1:20 and divided by two (because of the distance of each planet from the common barycenter). However, the zones of influence of the two bodies overlap strongly, and when their gravity decreases, the zones of influence are smaller, but naturally so is gravity. Is it possible to somehow make the planet's gravity remain more or less the same despite a smaller zone of influence?
