We present the discovery of Kepler-453 b, a 6.2${R} _ {\oplus} $ planet in a low-eccentricity,
240.5 day orbit about an eclipsing binary. The binary itself consists of a 0.94 and 0.195${M} …

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 …

Aims. Discs around a central binary system play an important role in star and planet
formation and in the evolution of galactic discs. These circumbinary discs are strongly …

We present the results of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the disc
around the young, eccentric stellar binary HD 104237. We find that the binary clears out a …

The majority of binary stars do not eclipse. Current searches for transiting circumbinary
planets concentrate on eclipsing binaries, and are therefore restricted to a small fraction of …

We examine characteristics of circumbinary orbits in the context of current planet formation
scenarios. Analytical perturbation theory predicts the existence of nested circumbinary orbits …

We describe a software package called VPLanet that simulates fundamental aspects of
planetary system evolution over Gyr timescales, with a focus on investigating habitable …

We have developed a comprehensive methodology for calculating the circumbinary
habitable zone (HZ) in planet-hosting P-type binary star systems. We present a general …

To better understand the orbital dynamics of exoplanets around close binary stars, ie,
circumbinary planets (CBPs), we applied techniques from dynamical systems theory to a …

No circumbinary planets have been discovered smaller than 3 R⊕, yet planets of this small
size comprise over 75% of the discoveries around single stars. The observations do not …
