Quintuple Star System
#27
To find the maximum contribution:
1) Find the separation distance between stars (in A.U.) minus the planet's apoastron distance from its star;
2) Square the result of #1, then take its inverse (1/x);
3) Multiply the result of #2 by:
3a) the luminosity of the non-host star, and
3b) then multiply that result by the Solar Constant;
4) Multiply the result of #3b by (1 minus the planet's albedo);
5) Divide the result of #4 by 5.670373 x 10 to the -8;
6) Take the fourth root of #5 to get the temperature in Kelvin.

To find the minimum contribution:
1) Find the separation distance between stars (in A.U.) plus the planet's apoastron distance from its star;
2) Repeat steps #2 through #6, as above.

Hope this works for you,
