Ever wondered where the Sun came from? Perhaps it was actually not formed by a condensing of materials from the depths of space but was actually a star ejected from another star system to form its own.
I've been pondering about star formation and rationalised how a3-body problem (wikipedia.org) would lead to an N-body (wikipedia.org) ejection.
If a star system with three stars of near equal mass were orbiting in a muliplex pattern*, it's possible those stars to lose materials (degrade). Those materials would collect at the median Legrangian point. That point would be where a smaller star would start to form from the materials, however due to it's formation it would lead to the 3-body system (now a N-Body system) to become destabilised from the change in mass allocation and likely lead to the ejection of one or more stars from the initial 3-bodies. After the ejection there is a likelihood that the start system that remains would convert to a simplex rather than continue as a multiplex (as it's more stable)*
Edit: A further point to this is that the stars in there orbit would have constant changes in mass caused through their positioning which would be responsible for the rate of material loss (degrading) It should be something visible in multiple star systems in the form of background radiofrequency change.
If the hypothesis is correct, then our star the Sun likely came from another star systems, however I'm still not entirely sure as to which one. I don't think it would be Alpha Centuri as we are closer to that system than we would of been if an ejection happened (there is also the question about our star systems inert direction in relationship to other star systems)
Still it would be interesting to find out if it was the case as it would mean that our sun would likely share materials with the system it was ejected from.
* Multiplex and simplex are terms used in relationship to Mobile Diagrams - Evans (1968) Multiplex being when stars can eclipse each other, versus where a star is in orbit of a two-body problem (acting as one mass).
