Plum-Pear

Description
Plum-Pear is a binary system of two orange dwarfs orbiting common barycenter in a distance of approximetly 100 AU from each other.
Each star has its own planetary system with several planets, moons, asteroids and some short-period comets. The system is also accompanied by captured ex-planemo (with unusual light source).
Names of stars were the first thing that came to my mind. Planets don't have names, just generic notations, like Plum-d, Pear-c-2 etc. Orbital stability was roughly tested in another application, gas giants cause some oscillations, but basically both systems appear stable. Other scientifical things are quite disputable, however (I hope) not completely impossible.

Plum e and Plum f can exchange positions, otherwise there will be significant orbital disturbances.
And f receives more sunlight and is warmer, so the carbon dioxide content does not need to be so high.
The atmosphere of the habitable planets in this system is not suitable for higher organisms to breathe and can be improved.
It's unreasonable to have ice caps on pear C despite its high temperature.
It's also inexplicable that D is locked by tides.

no planets are habitable due to atmospheric composition :(

Not sure what you mean but okay / :

Well, at least it eases my homesick when I pass by...

Ok, just kinda ruinds the look /:

Yes, it was one of my first experiments, where I used Saturn as a template. I left it there out of nostalgia (and also maybe I kinda forgot about it :) ).

I forgot what planet it was, but it used saturns ring as a ring, while the others used normal rings

drjames5: tested in Universe Sandbox 2. Stars and main planets only, not moons, dwarf planets or asteroids. Parameters were adjusted until certain stability was reached. Tested for ~100,000 years.
If stars were further apart, the effect of binary system sky would disappear. One of them would always look like just regular bright star.
What do you mean by custom rings? There are several ringed planets in the system.

Tips, make the stars father apart, also, at lest try to make custom rings

What program did you use to test the orbit stablity?
