Stable climates for temperate rocky circumbinary planets [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020 AbstractCircumbinary planets may comprise a significant fraction of the temperate rocky planets in our galaxy. A wide range of previous work has explored the climate of circumbinary planets with one‐dimensional energy balance models, but studies utilizing three‐dimensional general circulation models (GCMs) have only explored gaseous or ocean‐covered ...

Inclination instability of circumbinary planets [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyABSTRACT We analyse a tilt instability of the orbit of an outer planet in a two-planet circumbinary system that we recently reported. The binary is on an eccentric orbit and the inner circumbinary planet is on a circular polar orbit that causes the binary to undergo apsidal precession.

Is There a Circumbinary Planet around NSVS 14256825? [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2017 Abstract The cyclic behavior of (O–C) residuals of eclipse timings in the sdB+M eclipsing binary NSVS 14256825 was previously attributed to one or two Jovian-type circumbinary planets. We report 83 new eclipse timings that not only fill in the gaps in those already published but also extend the time span of the (O–C) diagram by three ...

Modelling Circumbinary Planets: The case of Kepler-38 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 Recently, a number of planets orbiting binary stars have been discovered by the Kepler space telescope. In a few systems the planets reside close to the dynamical stability limit.

Exomoons of Circumbinary Planets [PDF]
Exomoon discovery is on the horizon. Although several exomoon candidates exist around single stars, there are currently no candidates around circumbinary planets (CBPs). Circumbinary planets are predicted to have migrated to their current location from a farther region of the protoplanetary disc where they formed.

Limits to the presence of transiting circumbinary planets in CoRoT data [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 The CoRoT mission during its flight-phase 2007-2012 delivered the light-curves for over 2000 eclipsing binaries. Data from the Kepler mission have proven the existence of several transiting circumbinary planets.

PLANET HUNTERS: A TRANSITING CIRCUMBINARY PLANET IN A QUADRUPLE STAR SYSTEM [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We report the discovery and confirmation of a transiting circumbinary planet (PH1b) around KIC 4862625, an eclipsing binary in the Kepler field. The planet was discovered by volunteers searching the first six Quarters of publicly available Kepler data as part of the Planet Hunters citizen science project.

Thermal structure of circumbinary discs: Circumbinary planets should be icy, not rocky [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe process of forming a circumbinary planet is thought to be intimately related to the structure of the nascent circumbinary disc. It has been shown that the structure of a circumbinary disc depends strongly on three-dimensional effects and on detailed modelling of the thermodynamics.
