CAUSTIC STRUCTURES AND DETECTABILITY OF CIRCUMBINARY PLANETS IN MICROLENSING [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2016 Recent discoveries of circumbinary planets in Kepler data show that there is a viable channel of planet formation around binary main sequence stars.

Circumbinary Habitable Zones in the Presence of a Giant Planet [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Determining habitable zones in binary star systems can be a challenging task due to the combination of perturbed planetary orbits and varying stellar irradiation conditions.

Reflected eclipses on circumbinary planets [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 A photometric method to detect planets orbiting around shortperiodic binary stars is presented. It is based on the detection of eclipse-signatures in the reflected light of circumbinary planets.

On the Abundance of Circumbinary Planets [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 We present here the first observationally based determination of the rate of occurrence of circumbinary planets. This is derived from the publicly available Kepler data, using an automated search algorithm and debiasing process to produce occurrence ...

Planet Packing in Circumbinary Systems [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 The recent discovery of planets orbiting main sequence binaries will provide crucial constraints for theories of binary and planet formation. The formation pathway for these planets is complicated by uncertainties in the formation mechanism of the host ...

Parking planets in circumbinary discs [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 The Kepler space mission has discovered about a dozen planets orbiting around binary stars systems. Most of these circumbinary planets lie near their instability boundaries, at about three to five binary separations. Past attempts to match these final locations through an inward migration process were only shown to be successful for the Kepler-16 ...

Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet [PDF]
Science, 2011 We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to the mutual eclipses of the stars, giving precise constraints on the ...

A triple origin for the lack of tight coplanar circumbinary planets around short-period binaries [PDF]
, 2016 Transiting circumbinary planets are more easily detected around short-period than long-period binaries, but none have yet been observed by {\it Kepler} orbiting binaries with periods shorter than seven days.

THE NEPTUNE-SIZED CIRCUMBINARY PLANET KEPLER-38b [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We discuss the discovery and characterization of the circumbinary planet Kepler-38b. The stellar binary is single-lined, with a period of 18.8 days, and consists of a moderately evolved main-sequence star (M_A = 0.949 +/- 0.059 solar masses and R_A = 1.757 +/- 0.034 solar radii) paired with a low-mass star (M_B = 0.249 +/- 0.010 solar masses and R_B ...
