Planets orbiting stars the size of our sun 'obvious targets' for locating aliens
The research is based on the fact that nearly every second star in that category is a binary star — a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to (and in orbit around) each other.
The combined energy of these stars extends their habitable region as they heat each other's worlds, as well as their own.

Aliens 'could be common' on planets orbiting stars similar to our sun, new study says
Nearly half of such stars come in pairs, known as binary systems. Their combined energy extends the habitable region further away, making it larger. They heat each other's worlds, as well as their own, meaning they have a greater chance of being orbited by one that has liquid water.
