The emergence of life based on amino acid and RNA/ DNA on an Earth type planet requiers a quite narrow parameter space of many of the planet's physical parameters, most important are its mass and temperature conditions. ... The period, more or less, is conserved for the giant planets.) ... Thus, the mass of a terrestrial planet suitable for the advent of the LANA should be close to 5*10 27 g. The same value follows from quite a different condition: the planetary atmosphere should be retained. ...

CN And CWA_CB According to lc from Jassur & Khodadadi [352] it is a CBV system because of asymmetry (primary maximum is greater than secondary) and large dA, but according to lc solution it is CWA overcontact system with components in poor termal contact. ... According to Coughlin et al. [354] is a marginal contact system with both components almost fill their critical lobes, light curve asymmetric, so authors use hot spot on the primary to solve light curves. ... So It may be the CW system. ...
