\section{Conclusion}
With their calculation, Schwamb et al. found the quadruple star planetary system to be
stable. stable; although they mention it barely crossed the threshold of stability. Here, we used five
different integration models to compare PH1 to and determine the stability.
Of the five, four found the system to be stable: Holman & Wiegert's inner region orbit simulation and Holliday & Resnick's inclination simulation both found the planet itself is stable in its orbit around the central binary. Then, combining Holman & Wiegert's inner and outer region orbit simulations, we found both the planet and the outer binary are stable. The only simulation that found the planet to be unstable was Holman & Wiegert's outer region simulation when applied to the planet alone. This test may not be accurate, though, because the simulation only considers three bodies and this system has five.
The discovery of the first quadruple-star system is very exciting and opens many opportunities for study and after many simulations, we can conclude that, ultimately, PH1 is indeed stable.
