Yes, they can have planets but they will not be as common as a single star system. If any planets are formed, they will generally be far away from the stars.
This is because of the gravitational influences of two stars. This instability prohibits the formation of planets.
Obviously, it depends on the mass of the two stars and their distance from each other. A close pair will probably not have planets whereas a major star and a far minor binary pair will not experience the same influences and planet formation could occur without the same constraint's.
Our nearest binary/triple star system - Alpha Centauri has yet to have any planets detected.
What else can I help you with?
Does every star have a planetary system?
With current evidence, the answer is no. Whilst many stars will have a planetary system (Solar System) many will not. The prime candidates for not having any planets are binary and multiple star systems. This is because the gravitation tug of the multiple stars, inhibits planet formation. Our closest star system, Alpha Centaur which is a binary system, has failed to produce any planets, whereas further away stars have, This seems to suggest that the theory is at least partly true. Planets have been found in binary systems, but they are rare. So: Not all stars have planets.
What is a central star with planets around it?
A central star with planets around it is a planetary system or a star system. The central star, often a sun-like star, is orbited by planets that may vary in size, composition, and distance from the star. The arrangement of planets around the central star is known as a planetary or solar system.
What is a binary star system?
A double star is a pair that appear very close together in the sky, but that might be by chance and one of them might in fact be a lot further away than the other. A binary star is a special type of double star in which the two components are in orbit around their common centre of gravity.
How many stars make up binary star?
By definition, a binary star system has two stars in it.
Does a star system have at least three stars?
A star system can have two or more stars. A star system with two stars is called a binary star system.
Are there any planets located near the star algol?
There are no known planets located near the star Algol, which is a binary star system consisting of two stars. The distance between the two stars is relatively close, making it difficult for planets to stably orbit either of the stars.
Does every star have a planetary system?

The prime candidates for not having any planets are binary and multiple star systems. This is because the gravitation tug of the multiple stars, inhibits planet formation.

What are the different kinds of solar system?
"solar system" is the term used to describe planets orbiting a star. We know that planets also orbit binary and tertiary star systems, these would be different kinds of solar systems.
What do we call a solar system with 2 stars?
Star system with 2 star called? binary star system
Is the sun a part of a bianary star system?
Hmm. Let's have a look out side. How many Suns do I see? One. Our Solar System is not part of a binary star system, otherwise you'd see two Suns in the sky.
Is a star system containing two stars called a binary star?
Yes. No, it is called a binary system.
Is the sun a solitary star?
The Sun is not a solitary star in the traditional sense, as it is part of a larger gravitational system that includes planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. However, it is classified as a single star, belonging to a binary or multiple star system, as it doesn't have a significant companion star. Most stars in the galaxy exist in binary or multiple systems, but the Sun stands alone in its own solar system.
How many planets does Beta Lyrae have?
Beta Lyrae is a binary star system, consisting of two stars orbiting each other. There is currently no evidence to suggest the presence of planets in this system.
What is the solar mass of a binary star?
A binary star is simply a system containing two stars, which does not say anything about the system's mass.
Is vega star a part of a binary or multiple system?
No - it is a single star system
What is a member of a double star system?
A double star system consists of the two components in that system. A multiple star system consists of all the individual components in that system. A binary star or physical multiple system can be limited to the enumerated components. A broader definition could include all other material which is gravitationally bound to the system: planets, etc.
What is called as binary star or double star?
A binary star system is two stars that orbit around each other
