"Residing 1,300 light-years away in the famous constellation Orion the Hunter is the triple-star system GW Orionis.
Of its three stars, two closely orbit each other, while a third orbits the pair. ....has caught astronomers’ attention for several reasons — not least of which because it might harbor the first known exoplanet orbiting a trio of stars.
The disk around GW Orionis consists of three concentric rings of material, none which align with any of the orbits of the system’s three stars. Furthermore, the innermost ring doesn’t even align with the other rings, and it strangely tilts and wobbles as it orbits. And finally, there’s a big gap carved in the disk, which indicates that most the material there has been cleared out.
The supposed planet or planets would orbit the system about 100
astronomical units (AU) from the center (1 AU is the average Earth-Sun
distance). The stars themselves are much closer together. The tightly
orbiting pair are separated by just 1 AU, while the third star orbits
some 8 AU from the center of the system." Astronomy
