Instabilities in Multi-Planet Circumbinary Systems [PDF]
, 2019 The majority of the discovered transiting circumbinary planets are located very near the innermost stable orbits permitted, raising questions about the origins of planets in such perturbed environments.

Effects of XUV radiation on circumbinary planets [PDF]
, 2014 Several circumbinary planets have recently been discovered. The orbit of a planet around a binary stellar system poses several dynamic constraints. The effects that radiation from the host stars may have on the planet atmospheres must be considered ...

An Orbital Stability Study of the Proposed Companions of SW Lyncis [PDF]
, 2014 We have investigated the dynamical stability of the proposed companions orbiting the Algol type short-period eclipsing binary SW Lyncis (Kim et al. 2010).

Time variation of Kepler transits induced by stellar rotating spots - a way to distinguish between prograde and retrograde motion I. Theory [PDF]
, 2015 Some transiting planets discovered by the Kepler mission display transit timing variations (TTVs) induced by stellar spots that rotate on the visible hemisphere of their parent stars.

Constraints on the habitability of extrasolar moons [PDF]
, 2012 Detections of massive extrasolar moons are shown feasible with the Kepler space telescope. Kepler's findings of about 50 exoplanets in the stellar habitable zone naturally make us wonder about the habitability of their hypothetical moons.

Second generation planet formation in NN Serpentis? [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we study the general impact of stellar mass-ejection events in planetary orbits in post-common envelope binaries with circumbinary planets like those around NN Serpentis.

Constraining the Radiation and Plasma Environment of the Kepler Circumbinary Habitable Zone Planets
, 2016 The discovery of many planets using the Kepler telescope includes ten planets orbiting eight binary stars. Three binaries, Kepler-16, Kepler-47, and Kepler-453, have at least one planet in the circumbinary habitable-zone (BHZ).

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.

Planet Formation in Circumbinary Configurations: Turbulence Inhibits Planetesimal Accretion [PDF]
, 2012 The existence of planets born in environments highly perturbed by a stellar companion represents a major challenge to the paradigm of planet formation.

Uncertainties in Ground‐Based Visual Double Star Measures—II Accuracy of Measures
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Letchford and White 2025, Paper I, determined the uncertainties in ground‐based historic measures of double stars. In this paper, the accuracy of 26,205 ground‐based measures of 857 visual double stars, made since ∼$$ \sim $$1780, is determined relative to space‐based measures based on positions and proper motion from the HIPPARCOS (via ASCC ...
