| Jul 13, 2016 at 16:22 | comment | added | called2voyage♦ | @FJC I don't think Rob meant that he expected users to search arXiv. If you google "circumbinary planets" a list comes up immediately. I think that is what Rob was talking about. The OP earlier stated that he was already familiar with the term "circumbinary planet", but in his post he is wondering if any have even been discovered. Rob, I think, is wondering why the OP didn't check google first, or if he did why he didn't include an explanation of why the search results were unsatisfactory. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 15:44 | comment | added | FJC | @RobJeffries "There appears to be minimal prior research going on here." I don't think many lay-people know about arXiv, or how to search it. Given that as a undergraduate physicist I didn't have a working knowledge of finding cutting edge research until my 3rd or 4th year, I think we shouldn't expect that from most posters, so your comment sounds a bit mean. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 14:34 | comment | added | called2voyage♦ | @RobJeffries Are those papers actually about circumbinary/circumternary planets or just disks? | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 14:34 | comment | added | called2voyage♦ | @JoeBlow Actually, I was wrong. The second paper seems to detail the planet I linked to. The first is actually new, and it is not clear from the abstract whether a planet has been spotted yet. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 12:55 | comment | added | ProfRob | @Lelouch Circumbinary planets have to be at least ~5 times further way than the binary separation. There also appears to be a lack of planets around binaries with periods <7 days. This adds up to circumbinary planets must have periods >35 days. These are harder to find both in transit and doppler surveys. | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 12:52 | comment | added | ProfRob | Two more examples on arXiv just this morning, arxiv.org/abs/1607.03038 arxiv.org/abs/1607.02525 | |
| Jul 13, 2016 at 5:54 | comment | added | ProfRob | There appears to be minimal prior research going on here. There are many planets known in multiple star systems - of both types (circumbinary and orbiting one star). | |
