\end{tabular}  \end{table}  We will define $\mu _1 =0.4366$ as the mass ratio between Binary 1 & Binary 2 and $\mu _2 =0.000262$ as the mass ratio between the Planet and Binary 1. Using equation $(7)$ again, we get $a_c =[0.464+(-0.380)0.4366 +(-.631)0.539+(.586)0.4366 (0.539) +$   $.15(0.539^2 ) +(-0.198)(0.4366) (0.539^2 ) ]*1000 = 253.192 $  For inner orbits we again assume that semimajor axes smaller than the critical semimajor axis is stable and $.634 \stackrel{\checkmark}{<} 253$ which means the planet is stable!  Next, we will calculate the critical semimajor axis of the outer binary using equation $(8)$ to get: $a_c =1.6+5.10.5+(-2.22)0.5^2 +4.12 (0.000262) +(-4.27)(0.5) (0.000262)+$  $(-5.09)(0.000262^2 ) +4.61(0.5^2 )(0.000262^2 )$
