Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 The perturbation caused by planet‐moon binarity on the time‐of‐arrival (TOA) signal of a pulsar with an orbiting planet is derived for the case of the orbit of the planet‐moon system inclined of an angle α with respect to the plane of the orbit of the planet‐moon barycenter around the pulsar.

Terrestrial Circumbinary Planet Formation
, 2022 We examine the late stage of terrestrial circumbinary planet formation in circumbinary disks that are initially inclined coplanar, polar, or misaligned to the binary orbital plane. While such small planets around binaries have yet to be observed, this is likely due to observational bias.

The Role of Gravitational Instabilities in the Feeding of Supermassive Black Holes
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 I review the recent progresses that have been obtained, especially through the use of high‐resolution numerical simulations, on the dynamics of self‐gravitating accretion discs. A coherent picture is emerging, where the disc dynamics is controlled by a small number of parameters that determine whether the disc is stable or unstable, whether the ...

Massive Black Hole Binaries: Dynamical Evolution and Observational Signatures
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The study of the dynamical evolution of massive black hole pairs in mergers is crucial in the context of a hierarchical galaxy formation scenario. The timescales for the formation and the coalescence of black hole binaries are still poorly constrained, resulting in large uncertainties in the expected rate of massive black hole binaries detectable in ...

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 ...

Limits to the presence of transiting circumbinary planets in CoRoT data [PDF]
, 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.

A Dynamical Analysis of the Proposed Circumbinary HW Virginis Planetary System [PDF]
, 2012 In 2009, the discovery of two planets orbiting the evolved binary star system HW Virginis was announced, based on systematic variations in the timing of eclipses between the two stars. The planets invoked in that work were significantly more massive than

The Way to Circumbinary Planets
, 2018 Circumbinary planets (CBPs) are planets that orbit around both stars of a binary system. This chapter traces the history of research on CBPs and provides an overview over the current knowledge about CBPs and their detection methods. After early speculations about CBPs, inspired by binary star systems and popularized by fictional works, their scientific

Stable climates for temperate rocky circumbinary planets [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020 Abstract Circumbinary 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 ...
