abstract = "The search for life outside Earth has been a popular topic for a
long time in the scientific literature, but it gained more
possibilities with the discovery of planets around other stars
besides our Sun. In this sense, similarly to what happens in our
Solar System, moons of planets sometimes offer good conditions for
life if stable orbits for those moons exist. Thus, the present
paper analyzes a system composed of a moon (with the mass of the
Earth) orbiting a planet (with the mass of Jupiter), which is
orbiting a double star system (whose total mass is equal to the
mass of the Sun). It is an important topic because there is a
large proportion of double stars in the universe. The initial
conditions are given by a symmetric configuration of two circular
orbits. Although this symmetry is broken due to the four body
dynamics, the conditions in which the moon remains bound with the
planet are investigated. The stability of the system is given by
the survival of the orbit of the moon for an integration time of
the order of 10,000 revolutions of the satellite around its mother
planet. The regions of stable, unstable, and collision orbits are
mapped, and empirical linear equations that separate those regions
are obtained from the maps.",
