Circumbinary Habitable Zones in the Presence of a Giant Planet

Determining habitable zones in binary star systems can be a challenging task due to the combination of perturbed planetary orbits and varying stellar irradiation conditions. The concept “dynamically informed zones” allows us, nevertheless, make predictions on where look for worlds such complex environments. Dynamically have been used past investigate habitability circumstellar planets Earth-like analogs with giant planets. Here, we extend potentially circumbinary orbits. We show that zone borders found analytically even when another planet is present system. By applying this methodology Kepler-16, Kepler-34, Kepler-35, Kepler-38, Kepler-64, Kepler-413, Kepler-453, Kepler-1647, Kepler-1661 demonstrate presence known majority those does not preclude existence worlds. Among investigated Kepler-64 currently seem offer most benign environment. In contrast, Kepler-16 Kepler-1647 are unlikely host
